A method and controller are provided for delaying activation of autonomous emergency braking of a host vehicle, based on a determination that autonomous emergency braking is not needed because a forward vehicle in front of the host vehicle is turning out of the path of the host vehicle. The controller receives inputs from sensors arranged on the host vehicle and includes a processor for determining whether and when to activate autonomous emergency braking. The processor includes control logic that determines whether a forward vehicle is present in front of the host vehicle and whether the forward vehicle is expected to turn out of a path of the host vehicle prior to the host vehicle reaching a current position of the forward vehicle. Based on the inputs from the sensors, the control logic determines whether to delay activation of the autonomous emergency braking of the host vehicle for a time value.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising: one or more instructions that cause one or more processors to: perform a follow-up steering control for changing a steering angle of a vehicle in such a manner that the vehicle travels along a target traveling line determined based on a preceding vehicle trajectory obtained; and stop the follow-up steering control when a first distance condition and a manual steering condition are both satisfied while the follow-up steering control is being performed, the first distance condition being satisfied when a deviation distance in a road-width direction between the target traveling line and the vehicle is equal to or longer than a predetermined first threshold, and the manual steering condition being satisfied when a driver operates a steering wheel of the vehicle to change a position in the road-width direction.

A baby walker comprises sensors and control mechanisms to detect dangerous situations and to stop or substantially slow the baby walker. The baby walker uses proximity sensors, position sensors, presence sensors, and/or communication modules in order to assess the environment for the safety of the child. It also includes a controller that can apply a brake to the wheel assembly to stop or substantially slow the baby walker so as to protect the baby from entering dangerous regions or come in close proximity to objects. The baby walker may further receive and/or transmit information from an external device which may be operated by the child's guardian to define the borders of dangerous regions or a predefined travel distance.

A driving support apparatus for an own vehicle includes a lane keeping assist control unit. When an interrupting vehicle enters ahead of the own vehicle in (i) a situation in which no preceding vehicle is present ahead of the own vehicle, or (ii) a situation in which a preceding vehicle is present ahead of the own vehicle, while a deviation angle formed between a direction of a traveling trajectory of the interrupting vehicle and a traveling direction of the own vehicle is larger than a threshold, the lane keeping assist control unit is configured not to perform a lane keeping assist control based on the traveling trajectory of the interrupting vehicle, and is configured to discard the traveling trajectory of the interrupting vehicle. On and after the deviation angle becomes equal to or smaller than the threshold, the lane keeping assist control unit is configured to perform the lane keeping assist control based on the traveling trajectory of the interrupting vehicle.

A driving support apparatus for an own vehicle includes a travel trajectory obtaining unit configured to obtain a preceding vehicle trajectory which is a travel trajectory of a preceding vehicle, and a control unit configured to perform a follow-up steering control for changing a steering angle of the own vehicle in such a manner that the vehicle travels along a target traveling line determined based on the preceding vehicle trajectory. The control unit is configured to, when a first distance condition and a manual steering condition are both satisfied while the follow-up steering control is being performed, stop the follow-up steering control.

A method for actuating a hydraulic brake system in a motor vehicle, in which a hydraulic brake pressure is generated specific to the wheel, data of a driving environment sensor system being taken into account for detecting the instantaneous lateral distance of the motor vehicle from the desired track.

A drive assist apparatus includes a position acquisition unit that acquires a position of an own vehicle, a position of a tollgate present ahead of the position of the own vehicle, and a position of a target lane in a road present ahead of the tollgate, a scheduled traveling route creation unit that creates a scheduled traveling route from the position of the own vehicle to the position of the target lane through the position of the tollgate, and a travel control unit that controls the own vehicle so as to travel along the scheduled traveling route.

A travel control apparatus includes: a recognition processing section that recognizes a lane line of a traffic lane in which a host vehicle is traveling; a vehicle control section that performs lane keeping control such that a lateral position of the host vehicle is at a predetermined position with respect to the lane line; a radar that detects a preceding vehicle traveling ahead of the host vehicle; and a cancelling section that, when the recognition processing section does not detect the lane line, cancels the lane keeping control when a predetermined time has passed after the lane line is no longer detected. The predetermined time is shorter when a following distance between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle is longer than a predetermined value than when the following distance is shorter than or equal to the predetermined value.
