Abstract
An autonomous driving apparatus, which is used in a subject vehicle capable of performing an autonomous driving, is configured to: determine a deviation value of each of one or more candidate routes, which indicates a possibility of the subject vehicle deviating from a traveling rule when the subject vehicle travels the corresponding candidate route, based on a comparison result between an inter-vehicle distance and a minimum control permission distance; select one candidate route having the deviation value within a control permission range as a target route; output an instruction for controlling the subject vehicle to travel along the selected target route; execute a traveling control of the subject vehicle according to the instruction; and update a determination rule of the deviation value in response to a change in a sensor that detects a behavior of at least one of the subject vehicle or the peripheral vehicle.
