Abstract
Provided is a driver error response system with which it is possible to further increase safety during a driver error. This driver error response system has a switch operated during an error of the driver, an electronically controlled braking system that can execute automatic braking, a vehicle-external output unit that informs the outside of the vehicle that the driver error response system is operating, and a control unit that turns on the electronically controlled braking system and the vehicle-external output unit when at least the switch is operated, the control unit continuing the ON operation of the electronically controlled braking system when a part related to the driver error response system fails during the operation of the driver error response system.
Claims2
An emergency driving stop system, comprising:
- a switch configured to be operated when an abnormality occurs in a driver;
- an electronically controlled braking system capable of performing automatic braking;
- an externally output section configured to notify an outside of the vehicle that the emergency driving stop system is in operation;
- and
- a control section configured to turn on the electronically controlled braking system and the externally output section to perform an ON operation at least when the switch is operated,
- wherein the control section maintains the ON operation of the electronically controlled braking system when a portion related to the emergency driving stop system breaks down during the operation of the emergency driving stop system, and the control section is configured to detect the breakdown based on an input signal indicating a failure of the portion and to continue to output a control signal instructing operation of the automatic braking until an off command is received from an off switch for turning off the emergency driving stop system.
