Abstract
A vehicle control device for a vehicle in which driving is automatically controlled in a predetermined driving mode established by automatic control parameters. The vehicle control device has a processor configured to acquire a response from a driver in regard to driving of the vehicle, as a numerical value, when driving of the vehicle by automatic control has ended, and to change the automatic control parameters based on the numerical value of the response from the driver.
Claims8
A vehicle control device for a vehicle in which driving is automatically controlled in a predetermined driving mode established by automatic control parameters associated with a driver of the vehicle, the vehicle control device comprising:
- a processor configured to
- acquire a response from the driver in regard to driving of the vehicle, as a numerical value, when driving of the vehicle by automatic control has ended, and
- change the automatic control parameters associated with the driver based on the numerical value of the response from the driver;
- wherein, prior to initiating self-driving, the processor identifies the driver, refers to driver management information stored in a memory to acquire the predetermined driving mode associated with the identified driver, and initiates automatic control of the vehicle in the acquired driving mode associated with the driver;
- and
- wherein the automatic control parameters comprise information for controlling damping of vibration by a suspension system of the vehicle.
A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program for vehicle control in a vehicle in which driving is automatically controlled in a predetermined driving mode established by automatic control parameters associated with a driver of the vehicle, which causes a processor to execute a process, the process comprising:
- acquiring a response from the driver in regard to driving of the vehicle, as a numerical value, when driving of the vehicle by automatic control has ended;
- and
- changing the automatic control parameters associated with the driver based on the numerical value of the response from the driver;
- wherein the process comprises, prior to initiating self-driving, identifying the driver, referring to driver management information stored in a memory to acquire the predetermined driving mode associated with the identified driver, and initiating automatic control of the vehicle in the acquired driving mode associated with the driver;
- and
- wherein the automatic control parameters comprise information for controlling damping of vibration by a suspension system of the vehicle.
A method for controlling a vehicle in which driving is automatically controlled in a predetermined driving mode established by automatic control parameters associated with a driver of the vehicle, carried out by a vehicle control device and the method comprising:
- acquiring a response from the driver in regard to driving of the vehicle, as a numerical value, when driving of the vehicle by automatic control has ended;
- and
- changing the automatic control parameters associated with the driver based on the numerical value of the response from the driver;
- wherein the method comprises, prior to initiating self-driving, identifying the driver, referring to driver management information stored in a memory to acquire the predetermined driving mode associated with the identified driver, and initiating automatic control of the vehicle in the acquired driving mode associated with the driver;
- and
- wherein the automatic control parameters comprise information for controlling damping of vibration by a suspension system of the vehicle.
