A configuration that receives an intention of a user as input thereto and executes automatic driving control in which the intention of the user is reflected is implemented. A data processing unit that executes automatic driving control receives an intention of a user as input thereto and executes automatic driving control in which the intention of the user is reflected. The data processing unit executes an adjustment process of travel priority between an own vehicle that is a control target by automatic driving and a different vehicle different from the own vehicle. The data processing unit determines, on the basis of analysis of a travel environment, whether or not conflict in the same travel interval is to occur between the own vehicle and the different vehicle and checks, in a case where it is determined that conflict is to occur, the transfer intention of travel priority with the user and then executes the adjustment process.

A processing device that is provided in a building in which a user stays includes a control unit configured to perform: transmitting a request for a vehicle which the user desires to use to move to the building; detecting that the vehicle reaches a vicinity of the building; inquiring of the user about whether access of the vehicle to the inside of the building is permitted when it is detected that the vehicle reaches the vicinity of the building; and guiding at least a part of the vehicle to the inside of the building when the access is permitted by the user.

A passenger transportation system includes: an abnormality determination unit configured to determine whether or not a passenger feeling unwell is present in a vehicle; a transportation planning unit configured to determine, when it is determined that the passenger feeling unwell is present, a medical facility to which the passenger feeling unwell is transported and a via-point where normal passengers are dropped off; and a vehicle control unit configured to control the vehicle to travel so as to transport the passenger feeling unwell to the medical facility via the via-point.

An on-demand predefined route automated driving vehicle comprising a vehicle-mounted controller configured to cause the vehicle to run toward a planned riding location such that the vehicle automatically runs along a predefined route which is determined in advance and in a runnable area. The vehicle-mounted controller communicates with an on-demand predefined route automated driving vehicle fleet controller. Based on route information and an in-advance vehicle dispatch command signal received from the vehicle fleet controller, the vehicle-mounted controller controls the vehicle so that the vehicle runs toward an anticipated riding location based on the in-advance vehicle dispatch command signal.

A method for automatically controlling a vehicle to provide a safety zone to an individual. The method detects, at the vehicle, a condition indicating that an individual outside of the vehicle is in distress. In response, one or more vehicle services are automatically made available to the individual. A corresponding system is also disclosed and claimed herein.

A system for modifying actions taken by an autonomous driving module of an autonomous vehicle may include one or more processors, an input device having an actuator, and a memory having an input module and a modification module. The input module includes instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine when the actuator of the input device is actuated by a passenger of the autonomous vehicle when the autonomous driving module is in an autonomous mode. The modification module includes instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to modify one or more actions to be performed by the autonomous driving module while maintaining the autonomous mode of the autonomous driving module when the actuator of the input device is actuated by the passenger. The one or more actions may include increasing an amount of sensor data considered by the autonomous driving module.

The invention relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle that, due to an error in a main brake system of the motor vehicle, is switched by means of a control circuit from a normal mode to an error mode in which a performance of a drive unit of the motor vehicle is reduced, and at least one navigation function of the motor vehicle is activated. The invention provides that an additional function of the motor vehicle is activated in error mode by means of the control circuit. Moreover, the invention relates to a safety system that is designed to perform the above method, as well as to a motor vehicle equipped with such a safety system.

A vehicle includes: an input configured to receive a destination; a display; a driver assistance system configured to control a behavior of the vehicle based on surrounding environment information; and a controller configured to control the display to display a driving route. The controller may be configured to determine, when a distance between a branch point on the driving route and the vehicle reaches a first distance, a possibility that the vehicle deviates from the driving route based on GPS information, vehicle speed information, and the surrounding environment information, and search for, when the possibility is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, a deviation route for reaching the destination based on the deviated direction and control the display to display the deviation route until the distance between the branch point on the driving route and the vehicle reaches a second distance.

A computer-implemented method for displaying an augmented reality (AR) object is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes identifying a physical object of interest in a user's AR field of view (FOV), determining an amount of time required for the physical object of interest to be displayed within the user's AR FOV, based on the user's relative position and movement with respect to the physical object of interest, determining the physical object of interest is no longer in the user's physical FOV prior to an expiration of the determined amount of time required for the physical object to be displayed within the user's AR FOV, and displaying a digital object corresponding to the physical object of interest in the users AR FOV until the determined amount of time required for the physical object to be displayed within the user's AR FOV has expired.

Disclosed herein are an autonomous vehicle and a service providing system and method using the same. The autonomous vehicle includes a navigation system setting, as a destination, a service zone adjacent to a parking lot when there is a previously registered vehicle service input through a user terminal, and setting, as a destination, the parking lot adjacent to the service zone after completion of the previously registered vehicle service, and an operation system moving the vehicle to the destination through autonomous driving. One or more of the autonomous vehicle, the user terminal, and the server may be associated with artificial intelligence, a robot, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), or the like.
