An automated driving system and method of autonomously driving a vehicle. The system includes for a vehicle including at least one sensor device configured to detect the vehicle position and sense environment characteristics of the vehicle, an electronic control device configured to control autonomous driving of the vehicle based on an output of the sensor device, in which the controlling of autonomous driving includes an autonomous overtaking functionality for overtaking by changing the lane, and disable the autonomous overtaking functionality, in case at least one of a set of predetermined overtaking conditions is not satisfied.

Automated driving system and method of autonomously driving a vehicle

A driver assistance system for a vehicle includes image obtaining unit configured to obtain data in proximity to the vehicle, determine a regulation value based on the data, and at least one sensor unit configured to provide state information related to a state of the vehicle. Processing unit also includes being configured to determine whether a zone condition applies based on the data, confirm a validity of the detected regulation value based on the state information, the determined regulation value, the zone condition, and an age of the data, the processing unit is configured to revoke the validity, and wherein, upon determination of a zone condition, the processing unit is configured to increase the predetermined threshold duration. The processing unit is also configured to cause the regulation value to be displayed when the validity is confirmed and to prevent display of the regulation value when the validity is revoked.

Systems and methods for traffic sign validation

A traffic sign assistance system for a vehicle including optical recognition unit to obtain data regarding a regulation indicator in proximity to the vehicle, at least one sensor unit configured to monitor a vehicle travel direction, and processing unit. The processing unit are configured to determine a location of a location of a next road intersection based on the vehicle travel direction, measure a distance between a location of the regulation indicator and the location of the next road intersection, cause display of a regulation value associated with the regulation indicator on a display device to be maintained if the distance is less than a predetermined threshold value and a change in vehicle travel direction is detected, and hide the regulation value associated with the regulation indicator from the display device if the distance is greater than the predetermined threshold value and a change in vehicle travel direction is detected.

Systems and methods for traffic sign assistance

A limiting speed display device for vehicle includes a position information receiver, map display device for displaying map image, imaging device, display device for road sign image, limiting speed information determining device, road attribute information determining device, country information acquiring device, limiting speed estimation device, and limiting speed display device. The limiting speed estimation device estimates limiting speed for the road based on country information and road attribute information when the limiting speed information determining device determines that the limiting speed information is not included and the road attribute information determining device determines that the road attribute information is included.
