A vehicle control device of embodiments includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding status of a vehicle, a driving controller configured to control one or both of steering and acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle on the basis of the surrounding status recognized by the recognizer or map information, a storage configured to store images of the surroundings of the vehicle captured by a peripheral camera mounted on the vehicle; and a storage controller configured to control the storage. The driving controller causes the vehicle to travel in one of a plurality of driving modes including a first driving mode and a second driving mode in which a task imposed on an occupant of the vehicle is greater than that in the first driving mode. The driving controller causes the vehicle to travel by switching from the first driving mode to the second driving mode when an abnormality has occurred in one or both of the peripheral camera and the storage in the first driving mode, and continues the second driving mode when an abnormality has occurred in one or both of the peripheral camera and the storage in the second driving mode.

Vehicle control device, vehicle control method, and program

A vehicle control device includes a recognizer configured to recognize surrounding circumstances of a vehicle; a driving controller configured to control steering and acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle; and a mode determinator configured to determine any of a plurality of driving modes including a first driving mode and a second driving mode as a driving mode of the vehicle, in which tasks imposed on a driver in the second driving mode are less significant than in the first driving mode, the driving controller controls the vehicle in the second driving mode, and the driving mode is changed to the first driving mode when an abnormality including predetermined conditions has occurred regarding one or more cameras capturing an image of an area around the vehicle or an image captured by the one or more cameras.

Vehicle control device, vehicle control system, vehicle control method, and program

A vehicle control system includes: a vehicle sensor configured to detect a vehicle state; a first control device connected to the vehicle sensor and provided with a first recording area; a first power supply device configured to supply electric power to the first control device; a second control device connected to the first control device and provided with a second recording area; and a second power supply device configured to supply electric power to the second control device. The first control device is configured to record vehicle data including the vehicle state in the first recording area at a prescribed timing and to transmit the vehicle data to the second control device on a prescribed cycle. The second control device is configured to record the vehicle data received from the first control device in the second recording area at a prescribed timing.

Vehicle control system

A vehicle control system includes a control device configured to execute automatic driving control of a vehicle; an image capturing device configured to capture a surrounding image of the vehicle; and a recording device configured to record the surrounding image. The control device includes: a function classifying unit configured to classify functions of the automatic driving control into a first automatic driving function and a second automatic driving function; a state determining unit configured to determine whether the recording device is in a recordable state; and a function restricting unit configured to permit use of the first automatic driving function in a case where the state determining unit determines that the recording device is in the recordable state, and to prohibit the use of the first automatic driving function in a case where the state determining unit determines that the recording device is not in the recordable state.

A vehicle control system includes a recording device configured to record vehicle information in files. The recording device includes: an event information receiving unit configured to receive information about prescribed events; a tag providing unit configured to provide protection tags to the files, the protection tags being of different types according to magnitude of the events; and an overwriting setting unit configured to prohibit overwriting of the files provided with the protection tags of a same type in a case where the number of the files provided with the protection tags of the same type is within a prescribed upper limit number, and to permit the overwriting of the files provided with the protection tags of the same type in a case where the number of the files provided with the protection tags of the same type exceeds the upper limit number.

A vehicle control system includes a control device configured to execute specific automatic driving control; an image capturing device configured to capture a surrounding image of a vehicle; a display device configured to display the surrounding image; and a recording device configured to record the surrounding image. The control device includes: a first determining unit configured to determine whether the vehicle is present on a road where the specific automatic driving control is executable; and a second determining unit configured to determine whether a request to display the surrounding image is present. In a case where the first determining unit determines that the vehicle is present on the road where the specific automatic driving control is executable and the second determining unit determines that the request to display the surrounding image is absent, the recording device records the surrounding image.
