Abstract

A method for controlling an autonomous vehicle including: obtaining trip information of a current trip of a user of the autonomous vehicle and historical traffic information related to the current trip; selecting an autonomous driving (AD) mode that is suitable for the current trip from a plurality of pre-defined AD modes; comparing time required for the autonomous vehicle to complete a portion of the current trip in the selected AD mode with historical average time to complete the portion of the current trip, the historical average time being acquired based on the historical traffic information; and dynamically adjusting driving of the autonomous vehicle based on the comparison to minimize the difference between the time required for the autonomous vehicle to complete the portion of the current trip in the selected AD mode and the historical average time.
