An autonomous driving system configured to perform an autonomous driving of a vehicle includes a trigger input request unit configured to perform a trigger input request for requesting a driver of the vehicle to perform a trigger input for causing the vehicle to pass through a target point if the autonomously driving vehicle approaches the target point set in advance and positioned on a traveling route of the vehicle, a trigger input detection unit configured to detect the driver's trigger input, and a vehicle control unit configured to cause the vehicle to pass through the target point if the trigger input is detected, and causes the vehicle to decelerate and stop without passing through the target point if the trigger input is not detected.

Autonomous driving system and control method of autonomous driving system

A vehicle control device includes a traveling environment classification database configured to record traveling environment classification data in which at least one past traveling plan for autonomous driving and a traveling result of the past traveling plan are associated with each other for each preset traveling environment classification, a traveling environment classification determination unit configured to determine whether or not the traveling environment classification corresponding to a traveling environment of a host vehicle is present in the traveling environment classification database when the host vehicle travels in a map non-correspondence region during the autonomous driving, and a traveling plan generation unit configured to generate a mapless traveling plan as a traveling plan of the host vehicle in the map non-correspondence region when the traveling environment classification corresponding to the traveling environment of the host vehicle is present in the traveling environment classification database.

Vehicle control device

A device includes: a reference confidence degree calculation unit configured to calculate a reference confidence degree in estimating the position of the host vehicle at a candidate passing position of the host vehicle set in advance based on the position information on the object on the map; a shield information acquisition unit configured to acquire shield information based on a result of detection; a shielding influence degree calculation unit configured to calculate a shielding influence degree in estimating the position of the host vehicle at the candidate passing position based on the shield information; and a confidence degree calculation unit configured to calculate a confidence degree in estimating the position of the host vehicle at the candidate passing position based on the reference confidence degree and the shielding influence degree.

Host vehicle position confidence degree calculation device

An autonomous driving control system for a vehicle which is able to switch between manual driving and autonomous driving is provided with a driver condition sensor, acting part, and electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is provided with an autonomous driving control part, reliance calculating part for calculating an autonomous driving output reliance, vigilance calculating part for calculating a driver vigilance, and an action control part for controlling a strength of an action against a driver. In a region in which an operating point determined by the autonomous driving output reliance and driver vigilance can fall, a plurality of sub regions are defined by boundary lines extending so that the driver vigilance becomes higher as the autonomous driving output reliance becomes lower. The action control part controls the strength of the action against the driver to differ in accordance with the sub region in which the operating point falls.

Autonomous driving control system for vehicle

A system for presenting information to an occupant of a vehicle mounted with an autonomous driving system, includes: a display unit configured to display the information; a display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display information in any one of display modes among a setting status display mode in which setting information is displayed, an operation status display mode in which travel information is displayed, and a recognition status display mode in which recognition result information of the autonomous driving system is displayed; and an acquisition unit configured to acquire an occupant's display mode switching instruction for switching the display mode, wherein the display control unit configured to switch the display mode of the display unit when the acquisition unit acquires the occupant's display mode switching instruction.

Information presentation system

An automatic driving system includes an actuator and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to recognize a position, a surrounding environment, a state of the vehicle. The electronic control unit is configured to generate a first traveling plan based on the recognized position, the recognized surrounding environment, and the recognized state of the vehicle and calculate reliability of the first traveling plan. The electronic control unit is configured to generate a second traveling plan of the vehicle based on one or two of the recognized position, the recognized surrounding environment, and the recognized state of the vehicle and calculate reliability of the second traveling plan. The electronic control unit is configured to select a traveling plan having the higher reliability out of the first traveling plan and the second traveling plan, and control the traveling of the vehicle by the actuator.
