Abstract
A control system for a vehicle capable of autonomous driving. The control system includes: a stop position setting unit that sets a stop position ahead of the vehicle in a traveling direction; a travel controlling unit that causes the vehicle to autonomously drive to the stop position set by the stop position setting unit; and a projecting unit that projects a projection element indicating the stop position by a light beam emitted from the vehicle onto a road surface while the travel controlling unit causes the vehicle to autonomously drive to the stop position.

A control system for a vehicle capable of autonomous driving, the control system comprising:
- a stop position setting unit that sets a stop position ahead of the vehicle in a traveling direction;
- a travel controlling unit that causes the vehicle to autonomously drive to the stop position set by the stop position setting unit;
- a projecting unit that projects a projection element indicating the stop position by a light beam emitted from the vehicle onto a road surface while the travel controlling unit causes the vehicle to autonomously drive to the stop position;
- and
- a travel route setting unit that sets a normal route serving as a traveling path through which the vehicle is caused to autonomously drive and on which a halt place is previously set, and a stop route through which the vehicle is caused to autonomously drive from a front position of the halt place to the stop position, wherein
- the travel controlling unit causes the vehicle to autonomously drive along the normal route and along the stop route from the front position of the halt place to the stop position, and
- the projecting unit projects the projection element when the vehicle reaches the front position of the halt place.
