Abstract
A control device of an automatic drive vehicle includes: an information acquisition unit that acquires power generator information as information on a power generator provided in the automatic drive vehicle; an operation control unit that switches between a first state in which automatic driving of the automatic drive vehicle is executed without restriction and a second state in which the automatic driving is partially or entirely restricted; and a determination unit that determines whether to perform switching to the second state by the operation control unit.
Claims12
A method of controlling an automatic drive vehicle that includes:
- at least one computer system;
- a battery that supplies power to operate the at least one computer system;
- and
