The method includes: obtaining information about a driving scenario of an autonomous vehicle when a preset trigger condition is met; comparing the information about the driving scenario with an autonomous driving capability of the autonomous vehicle; determining, according to a comparison result, whether the autonomous vehicle is adapted to employ an autonomous driving mode in the driving scenario. The technical solution of the present disclosure may be applied to improve the safety of the vehicle and the user.

A vehicle control device includes a first inputter, a second inputter, a mode controller configured to, when the first inputter is operated by a user, determine a driving mode of a vehicle as a first mode, and when the second inputter is operated by the user in the first mode, switch the driving mode from the first mode to a second mode, and a driving controller configured to control at least one of a steering and speed of the vehicle, and the driving controller is configured to control a steering and speed of the vehicle and prohibit change of a path of the vehicle when the driving mode is the first mode, and control a steering and speed of the vehicle and change of the path of the vehicle is allowed when the driving mode is the second mode.

A vehicle control method and device are disclosed. An embodiment of the method includes: receiving an assistance driving instruction associated with a vehicle; and sending an assistance control instruction to the vehicle, to cause the vehicle to execute the assistance control instruction to control the vehicle, the assistance control instruction being generated through a simulation driving operation performed by an assistance driving user based on travelling environment information of the vehicle presented to the assistance driving user.

A safety control apparatus for an autonomous parking system includes: a sensor collecting data of a vehicle; a communication device transmitting a message informing a presence of a passenger in the vehicle to a driver terminal depending on whether the passenger is present in the vehicle; a driver device performing an autonomous parking operation when the autonomous parking operation for the vehicle is selected through the driver terminal; and a controller determining whether the passenger is present in the vehicle before the autonomous parking operation. The controller also determines whether the passenger in the vehicle intends to exit the vehicle, and controls an operation of the driver device during the autonomous parking operation.

A vehicle control device includes a first inputter, a second inputter, a mode controller configured to, when the first inputter is operated by a user, determine a driving mode of a vehicle as a first mode, and when the second inputter is operated by the user in the first mode, switch the driving mode from the first mode to a second mode, and a driving controller configured to control at least one of a steering and speed of the vehicle, and the driving controller is configured to control a steering and speed of the vehicle and prohibit change of a path of the vehicle when the driving mode is the first mode, and control a steering and speed of the vehicle and change of the path of the vehicle is allowed when the driving mode is the second mode.

A vehicle control system executing a voice control system for facilitating voice-based dialog with a driver to enable the driver or autonomous vehicle to control certain operational aspects of an autonomous vehicle is provided. Using environmental and sensor input, the vehicle control system can select optimal routes for operating the vehicle in an autonomous mode or choose a preferred operational mode. Occupants of the autonomous vehicle can change a destination, route or driving mode by engaging with the vehicle control system in a dialog enabled by the voice control system.

A method, an apparatus, a computer device and a storage medium for autonomous driving determination are proposed. The method includes: obtaining information about a driving scenario of an autonomous vehicle when a preset trigger condition is met; comparing the information about the driving scenario with an autonomous driving capability of the autonomous vehicle; determining, according to a comparison result, whether the autonomous vehicle is adapted to employ an autonomous driving mode in the driving scenario.

Disclosed is a driving support control device (ECU) (10) capable of controlling a vehicle (1) in accordance with any one selected from plural driving support modes by a driver. The ECU (10) is configured to temporally repeatedly calculate a target traveling course (first to third traveling courses R1 to R3) along which the vehicle (1) should travel, and to, in a preceding vehicle following mode, execute control of causing the vehicle (1) to travel on and along the target traveling course, wherein the ECU (10) is operable, when the target traveling course includes a section having a curvature radius r less than a given curvature radius r.sub.th, to prohibit transition to the preceding vehicle following mode, even if the driver selects the preceding vehicle following mode.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an autonomous vehicle with an emergency escape mode. When fleeing a scene is critical, embodiments provide an AV that can operate in an emergency escape mode (EEM) to enable the AV to flee a scene, protecting its occupants. Typically, a passenger or operator invokes EEM in an AV when they are in imminent danger from criminal activity such as carjacking. A least resistance route can be computed to determine an escape route that provides for reduced chance of injury and/or increased probability of a successful escape.

A user interface device for an autonomous vehicle (AV) can include an autonomy engage selector and a plurality of vehicle interfaces connected in series. Each of the plurality of vehicle interfaces can correspond to a respective vehicle operation and can include a relay that engages when the vehicle interface is in a ready state. The user interface device can also include a drive-by-wire controller to autonomously operate each of the plurality of vehicle interfaces in response to an engage input on the autonomy engage selector when the user interface device is in a ready condition.
