A manufacturing support system may be provided. The manufacturing support system may comprise: an obtaining unit (IO) configured to obtain object data of an object to be manufactured; an artificial intelligence, Al, engine () configured to receive the object data as an input and to determine a hardware configuration of a manufacturing system for manufacturing the object with reference to information relating to available hardware for the manufacturing system; and an output unit () configured to output the determined hardware configuration.

Manufacturing support system and method

A driver state determination unit of a drive mode switching control device regularly or irregularly determines whether a driver's state is a state of being able to perform a driving operation in a manual drive mode. The drive mode switching control device determines whether an operation performed by the driver is an emergency override operation or a non-emergency override operation. The drive mode switching control device outputs a switching signal for switching an automatic drive mode to the manual drive mode when a determination result by the driver state determination unit immediately before detection of the emergency override operation is that a driver's state is a state of being able to perform a driving operation in the manual drive mode.
