A control system of a vehicle that can travel by a plurality of travel modes which have different control operations from each other at the time of driving support control, comprises: a detection unit that detects an occupant or a plurality of occupants of the vehicle; a decision unit that decides, among the plurality of travel modes, a travel mode corresponding to an attribute of the occupant and/or a combination of occupants detected by the detection unit; and a control unit that controls travel of the vehicle by the travel mode decided by the decision unit.

A display system in a vehicle, and associated control method, which displays application information on a driver display screen portion and a passenger display screen portion of a vehicle display based on the seating position of the vehicle occupants in the vehicle and the identity of the vehicle occupants requesting the application information be displayed. The display system and method detects a change in the seating position of the vehicle occupants, and in response switches the display of the application information between the driver display screen portion and the passenger display screen portion of the vehicle display.

Disclosed are a method for controlling a vehicle based on speaker recognition and an intelligent vehicle. A method for controlling a vehicle based on speaker recognition according to an embodiment of the present invention recognize a user boarding on a vehicle in accordance with utterance data of the user, and determines and then controls the interior state of the vehicle using an artificial neural network model trained in advance in accordance with a vehicle control pattern of the recognized user, thereby being able to a driving environment optimized in accordance with the user. A method for controlling a vehicle based on speaker recognition and an intelligent vehicle of the present invention may be associated with an artificial intelligence module, a drone ((Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV), a robot, an AR (Augmented Reality) device, a VR (Virtual Reality) device, a device associated with 5G services, etc.

People and packages are delivered to and picked up from delivery locations by autonomous vehicles that also carry autonomous robots. When a package needs to be picked up or delivered at a particular location, an autonomous robot is deployed from the delivery vehicle and takes the package to the doorstep or other predetermined location or picks up the package from that location and brings it back to the delivery vehicle. After this pickup or delivery, the autonomous robot stows itself back in the delivery vehicle.

A system may schedule a vehicle for accommodating preferences of occupants within the vehicle. In some instances, an identity of the occupant may be determined and using the identity, the preference of the occupant may be determined. The vehicle may be schedule for the occupant in instances where the vehicle is able to accommodate the preference. The vehicle may be adjusted or setting(s) of the vehicle may be adjusted based on the preference. The vehicle may travel along a route according to the preferences.

A control apparatus includes a controller configured to acquire, as profile data, data read from a medium held by each of users when each of the users gets on a vehicle to be operated with the users on board to a destination having a plurality of facilities, identify, based on the acquired profile data, a facility from among the plurality of facilities at which each of the users is to get off the vehicle, and perform control of operating the vehicle along a route including the identified facility.

Data to initiate movement of a vehicle is received from a first user. The first user is identified. A determination is made whether to initiate the movement of the vehicle based at least in part on the data and the one or more characteristics of the first user. The movement of the vehicle is initiated.

A vehicle includes an occupant monitoring system configured to acquire occupant data regarding an occupant of the vehicle; a robotic driving system configured to provide robotic control of the vehicle during a robotic driving mode; and a processing circuit coupled to the occupant monitoring system and the robotic driving system. The processing circuit is configured to: receive the occupant data; determine a vehicle operation command based on the occupant data, the vehicle operation command configured to affect operation of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the robotic driving mode; and provide the vehicle operation command to a vehicle system.

The present invention provides a vehicle control apparatus capable of traveling a vehicle by automated driving, comprising a state detection unit configured to detect a state of an occupant in the vehicle, and a control unit configured to set a traveling mode of automated driving in accordance with a change in the state of the occupant detected by the state detection unit.

An autonomous driving vehicle, which provides a driverless transportation service, includes: an authentication device that performs authentication of a user in the autonomous driving vehicle; an intention receiving device that receives information indicating intention of the user in the autonomous driving vehicle; and a control device that controls the autonomous driving vehicle. When maneuvering the autonomous driving vehicle to depart to a destination, the control device performs departure condition confirmation processing that prohibits the autonomous driving vehicle from departing until a departure condition is satisfied and permits the autonomous driving vehicle to depart when the departure condition is satisfied. The departure condition includes: a first condition that the authentication of the user by the authentication device is completed; and a second condition that the intention receiving device receives departure intention information indicating departure intention of the user.
