Abstract
Disclosed is a device for controlling autonomous driving. For example, the device detects an event that causes a determination of whether to transfer control of a host vehicle to a user while the host vehicle operates in an autonomous driving mode, outputs a first notification based on not receiving a user response associated with the transfer of control, outputs a second notification based on not receiving the user response associated with the transfer of control, and control the host vehicle to reduce a travel speed of the host vehicle at a first rate.
Claims20
An autonomous driving control device comprising:
- a notification device comprising at least one of:
- a seat belt length adjusting device or a seat angle adjusting device;
- memory for storing one or more instructions;
- and
- a controller operatively connected to the notification device and the memory,
- wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the controller, cause the autonomous driving control device to:
- detect, while a host vehicle operates in an autonomous driving mode, an event that causes a determination of whether to transfer control of the host vehicle to a user;
- output, at a first time and via the notification device, a first notification based on not receiving, within a first time period, a user response associated with the transfer of control;
- output, via the notification device, a second notification based on not receiving, within a second time period starting at the first time, the user response associated with the transfer of control;
- and
- control, after outputting the second notification, the host vehicle to reduce a travel speed of the host vehicle at a first rate.
A method for controlling autonomous driving, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a controller and while a host vehicle operates in an autonomous driving mode, an event requiring a transfer of control of the host vehicle to a user;
- outputting, by the controller via a notification device and at a first time, a first notification based on not receiving, within a first time period, a user response associated with the transfer of control;
- outputting, by the controller via the notification device, a second notification based on not receiving, within a second time period starting at the first time, the user response associated with the transfer of control;
- and
- controlling, after outputting the second notification, the host vehicle to reduce a travel speed of the host vehicle at a first rate.
