Abstract
An autonomous driving system includes a target object position recognition unit configured to recognize a target object position detected by a vehicle-mounted sensor based on map information in a map database, a vehicle position recognition unit configured to recognize a vehicle position, a relative-relationship-on-map acquisition unit configured to acquire a relative-relationship-on-map between the target object and the vehicle based on the target object position and the vehicle position on the map, a detected-relative-relationship acquisition unit configured to acquire a detected-relative-relationship between the target object detected by the sensor and the vehicle based on a result of detection performed by the sensor, a map accuracy evaluation unit configured to evaluate map accuracy of the map information based on the relative-relationship-on-map and the detected-relative-relationship, and an autonomous driving permission unit configured to permit an autonomous driving control using the map information based on the result of evaluation of the map accuracy.
