A system for closest in path vehicle following using surrounding vehicles motion flow is provided and includes a sensor device of a host vehicle generating data related to vehicles upon a drivable surface. The system further includes a navigation controller including a computerized processor operable to monitor the data from the sensor device, define a portion of the plurality of vehicles as a swarm of vehicles, identify one of the plurality of vehicles as a closest in path vehicle to be followed, evaluate the data to determine whether the closest in path vehicle to be followed is exhibiting good behavior in relation to the swarm of vehicles, and, when the closest in path vehicle to be followed is exhibiting the good behavior, generate a breadcrumbing navigation path based upon the data. The system further includes a vehicle controller controlling the host vehicle based upon the breadcrumbing navigation path.

A moving body control apparatus includes a cancel control section performing control to cancel a lane change when a first cancel condition and a second cancel condition for cancelling the lane change are satisfied. When the first cancel condition is satisfied with the grip of an occupant on a manipulator being a prescribed level or greater, if a distance in a vehicle width direction between a moving body and a lane marker is a first distance threshold value or greater, the cancel control section judges that the second cancel condition is satisfied and cancels the lane change, and when the first cancel condition is satisfied with the grip being less than the prescribed level, if the distance is not less than a second distance threshold value greater than the first distance threshold value, the cancel control section judges that the second cancel condition is satisfied and cancels the lane change.

The invention relates to a method for a follower vehicle following a lead vehicle (1), comprising establishing, in a first control mode of the follower vehicle (2), a path for the follower vehicle (2) to follow the lead vehicle (1), characterized by —generating environmental data (SL) which is related to the environment of the lead vehicle (1), —determining, based on the generated environmental data, an expected behaviour (NAP, NSP) of an operational parameter of the lead vehicle (1), —determining an actual behaviour (AA, AS) of the lead vehicle operational parameter, —comparing the determined expected behaviour (NAP, NSP) of the lead vehicle operational parameter and the determined actual behaviour of the lead vehicle operational parameter, —determining based on said comparison whether to continue in first control mode of the follower vehicle (2), or in a second control mode of the follower vehicle, differing from the first control mode.

An apparatus for displaying steering information of a preceding vehicle may include: a processor of a host vehicle, where the processor receives steering information of the preceding vehicle among a plurality of platooning vehicles including the host vehicle; and a display controlled by the processor to display the steering information of the preceding vehicle.

To provide a human-machine interface (HMI) apparatus that can convey a vehicle control intention of a system to a driver without causing an additional burden without relying on language or visual means. A human-machine interface (HMI) apparatus for a vehicle (1) including a vehicle control unit (10) capable of performing speed control and steering control on the basis of information obtained by an environmental condition estimating part (21-23) includes a seat (3) provided to be tiltable in a vehicle longitudinal direction, an actuator (30) configured to tilt the seat, and a seat tilting control unit (13) configured to make the actuator (30) perform control: to tilt the seat (3) forward when the vehicle control unit (10) performs deceleration control or when probability of performing deceleration control is recognized on the basis of the information obtained by the environmental condition estimating part (21-23); and to return the seat (3) to an original position when the deceleration control is performed or when the probability disappeared.

A travel control apparatus, when a lane line of the traffic lane that had been being detected is no longer detected, estimates an imaginary lane line based on the position of the lane line detected in the past and controls the travel of the host vehicle such that the host vehicle is at a predetermined position with respect to the imaginary lane line.

Technical solutions described herein include a steering system that includes a motor that generates assist torque, and a controller that generates a motor torque command for controlling an amount of the assist torque generated by the motor. The steering system further includes a remote object assist module that computes a steering intervention based on a proximity of a vehicle from a detected object. The controller changes the motor torque command using the steering intervention.

A driver assistance apparatus includes an external camera disposed at a vehicle so as to have an outer field of view of the vehicle, configured to obtain image data on the outer field of view of the vehicle; an internal camera disposed inside the vehicle to grasp a drivers gaze on board the vehicle, configured to obtain the drivers gaze data; and a controller including at least one processor configured to process the image data and the gaze data. The controller may be configured to grasp the driver's gaze based on the gaze data, and based on a determination that the driver is in a careless condition, to control at least one of a control timing of a steering device and a lateral distance limit value for operating the steering device to be changed.
