Abstract
A method controls a motor vehicle equipped with autonomous driving structure, sensors, fusion circuitry, and a road navigation assistance device. The method includes: determining a first value when the estimated trajectory of the vehicle intersects or approaches the central line of a traffic lane, determining a second value when the closest target object on the vehicle's driving line is also detected by a telemetry sensor, determining a third value when a collision will occur by comparing the distance between the closest target object and the vehicle to a predetermined threshold, determining a fourth value when the space between the vehicle and the closest target object is empty based on data from the telemetry sensor, and determining a fifth value when there is congestion on the trajectory of the vehicle, and then determining whether the autonomous driving structure can be activated based on only the first to fifth values.
