A moving body control apparatus includes a travel control section that controls travel of a moving body based on vicinity information, and a lane change control section that performs a lane change of the moving body from a first lane to a second lane, if the lane change of the moving body from the first lane to the second lane is approved. The travel control section performs first acceleration/deceleration control to accelerate or decelerate the moving body according to a velocity of another moving body travelling in the second lane, if the lane change of the moving body from the first lane to the second lane is denied.

A system for preventing abnormal acceleration of a vehicle includes a device configured such that in a state in which the vehicle is stopped while the vehicle is turned on, the device is configured to determine whether abnormal acceleration prevention is necessary based on a final destination or a current position of the vehicle before the vehicle is turned off to thereby limit a vehicle speed. The system and a method for preventing abnormal operation of the vehicle can prevent a vehicle accident due to the abnormal acceleration caused by misoperation by a driver, such as misoperation of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle.

The application disclose an autonomous-driving-based control method performed by a computer device. The method includes: acquiring scene information of a target vehicle; determining a current lane changing scene type of the target vehicle according to the scene information; recognizing, when the current lane changing scene type is a mandatory lane changing scene type, a first lane for completing a navigation travel route, and, when the first lane satisfies a lane changing safety check condition, controlling the target vehicle to perform lane changing operation according to the first lane. The second lane for optimizing the travel time is recognized according to the scene information when the current lane changing scene type is the free lane changing scene type. When the second lane satisfies the lane changing safety check condition, the target vehicle is controlled to perform lane changing operation according to the second lane.

A computer-implemented method comprises: generating first output using a first sensor of a vehicle comprising an infrared camera or an event-based sensor, the first output indicating a portion of surroundings of the vehicle; providing the first output to a LiDAR of the vehicle having a field of view (FOV); configuring a resolution of the LiDAR based at least in part on the first output; generating a representation of at least part of the surroundings of the vehicle using the LiDAR; providing, to a perception component of the vehicle, second output of a second sensor of the vehicle and third output of the LiDAR, the perception component configured to perform object detection, sensor fusion, and object tracking regarding the second and third outputs, wherein the first output bypasses at least part of the perception component; and performing motion control of the vehicle using a fourth output of the perception component.

In various examples, a yield scenario may be identified for a first vehicle. A wait element is received that encodes a first path for the first vehicle to traverse a yield area and a second path for a second vehicle to traverse the yield area. The first path is employed to determine a first trajectory in the yield area for the first vehicle based at least on a first location of the first vehicle at a time and the second path is employed to determine a second trajectory in the yield area for the second vehicle based at least on a second location of the second vehicle at the time. To operate the first vehicle in accordance with a wait state, it may be determined whether there is a conflict between the first trajectory and the second trajectory, where the wait state defines a yielding behavior for the first vehicle.
