20180299889 · 2018-10-18 · ·

There is provided a content reproduction device. An acquisition unit configured to acquire driving information indicating whether a vehicle driving is a manual driving in which a driver should execute a driving operation or an automatic driving in which the driver does not have to execute the driving operation. A change unit that is configured to determine whether the vehicle driving is to be switched from the automatic driving to the manual driving on the basis of the driving information acquired by the acquisition unit and that, when the vehicle driving is switched from the automatic driving to the manual driving, changes at least one of a content to be reproduced and a setting about reproduction.

AUTONOMOUS DRIVING CONTROL SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD USING THE SAME
20180292833 · 2018-10-11 ·

An autonomous driving control method of a vehicle is provided. The method includes recognizing accuracy of a map within the vehicle and determining an available autonomous driving level. Sensor coverage of the vehicle is recognized and an available autonomous driving level for each section among the available autonomous driving levels is determined. A path with autonomous driving level indicated thereon among driving paths is then recommended according to a destination set in the map, and autonomous driving level calculation information is updated in real-time according to a selected path and autonomous information is provided to a driver.

Virtual steerable path

A computing device in a vehicle can be programmed to determine a virtual steerable path polynomial including a lane change maneuver, update the virtual steerable path polynomial by controlling a vehicle trajectory, and, pilot the vehicle based on the virtual steerable path polynomial. The computer further programmed to determine the virtual steerable path polynomial based on the vehicle trajectory.

LANE CHANGE ASSISTANT

A computing device in a vehicle can determine a time bound for a lane change maneuver based on determining a reaction time, an occupant acceptance time, a vehicle maneuver time and a maneuver cancellation time and request authorization to perform the lane change maneuver. The computing device can determine the time bound has expired, and cancel the authorization request based on the expired time bound.

VEHICLE HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE CONTROL

A computing device in a vehicle can determine a plurality of lane change maneuvers based on the time to collision. The computing device can determine a field of safe travel to execute the lane change maneuvers without braking to a stop and display the field of safe travel to an occupant.

REAL TIME LANE CHANGE DISPLAY

A computing device in a vehicle can be programmed to display a predicted path based on a planned lane change maneuver and execute the lane change maneuver. While the lane change maneuver is being executed, the computing device can update the predicted path display based on the lane change maneuver.

LANE CHANGE ADVISOR

A computing device in a vehicle, programmed to pilot a vehicle by adaptive cruise control and determine a lane change maneuver based on the adaptive cruise control and determined traffic in an adjacent lane. The computing device can display a prompt to an occupant based on the lane change maneuver.

STEERING WHEEL ACTUATION

A computing device in a vehicle can be programmed to determine a time to a collision and a field of safe travel, select one of a first and a second haptic output based on (a) the field of safe travel and (b) a predetermined time threshold. The computing device can deliver the first haptic output via a steering wheel when the time to collision is greater than the predetermined time threshold and deliver the second haptic output via the steering wheel when the time to collision is less than or equal to the predetermined time threshold.

Vehicle information display control device, and method for displaying automatic driving information

A vehicle information display control device includes: an automatic driving information obtaining unit that obtains automatic driving information including information indicating that each actuator of a vehicle is in a manual control mode or an automatic control mode; and a display controller that displays images on a first display area and a second display area of a display based on the automatic driving information. The display controller displays an image corresponding to an actuator in the manual control mode on the first display area and an image corresponding to an actuator in the automatic control mode on the second display area.

Operation device for autonomous vehicle

An operation device for an autonomous vehicle includes a touch panel configured to display at least one of a start button and a deceleration button, and a notification button on the same screen. The autonomous vehicle is autonomously drivable. The start button is a button for starting driving of the autonomous vehicle in an autonomous drive mode. The deceleration button is a button for decelerating the autonomous vehicle during the autonomous drive mode. The notification button is a button for performing notification to an outside of the autonomous vehicle.
