Abstract
A notification device provided in a vehicle including an autonomous driving system which causes the vehicle to travel by autonomous driving and to evacuate the vehicle when a failure occurs, includes a display unit configured to display information toward an outside of the vehicle, and a display controller configured to control the display unit. The display controller causes the display unit to be turned on or flicker when a failure occurs and changes a display of the display unit in at least one of a time when an evacuation starts and a time when an evacuation is completed.
Claims20
A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
- a display controlling process for causing a display device having one or more display units provided on a vehicle to display a status of the vehicle toward an outside of the vehicle,
- wherein, under a condition where it is determined that a failure of the vehicle occurs and an autonomous evacuation of the vehicle is to be implemented, the display controlling process changes a current display of the display device to a display for indicating an evacuation state of the vehicle when or after the autonomous evacuation of the vehicle starts.
A notification device provided in a vehicle including an autonomous driving system which causes the vehicle to travel by autonomous driving and an autonomous evacuation of evacuate the vehicle when a failure occurs, the notification device comprising:
- a display unit configured to display a status of the vehicle toward an outside of the vehicle;
- and
- a display controller configured to control the display unit, the display controller causes the display unit to change a current display to a display for indicating an evacuation state of the vehicle when or after the autonomous evacuation of the vehicle starts under a condition that a failure of the vehicle occurs and an the autonomous evacuation of the vehicle starts.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions recorded therein that causes a processor to perform operations comprising:
- a display controlling process for causing a display device having one or more display units provided on a vehicle to display a status of the vehicle toward an outside of the vehicle,
- wherein, under a condition where it is determined that a failure of the vehicle occurs and an autonomous evacuation of the vehicle is to be implemented, the display controlling process changes a current display of the display device to a display for indicating an evacuation state of the vehicle when or after the autonomous evacuation of the vehicle starts.
