Abstract: An HMI control device is configured to control an HMI device mounted in a vehicle, which is capable of performing an autonomous driving as a first task. The HMI control device is configured to: acquire a possible duration for the autonomous driving; and present, by the HMI device, a second task that an occupant on a driver's seat is able to start executing during the autonomous driving based on the possible duration acquired by the time acquisition unit.

Abstract: An execution of a second task of a driver is assisted in cooperation with a user interface in an autonomous driving state in which a vehicle is an execution entity of a driving task. The second task is extracted, which is properly executable within task possible time estimated as time in which the second task is executable in a route to a destination of the vehicle. The second task extracted by the second task extracting unit is suggested through the user interface.

Abstract: A route setting device includes: a route candidate generation unit that generates multiple route candidates from a current position to a destination; an index calculation unit that calculates, for each of the multiple route candidates, a change index that indicates a probability that an automatic driving system performs a driving change request when a vehicle travels along each of the multiple route candidates by using the automatic driving system; a display unit that associates the multiple candidates with the change index calculated for each of the multiple route candidates, and display the multiple associated route candidates and the associated change index; an input unit that receives a selection among the multiple route candidates by an occupant of the vehicle; and a route setting unit that sets a route among the multiple route candidates based on the selection received by the input unit.

Abstract: An automatic driving proposal device or an automatic driving proposal method is used for a vehicle that selects either a state of an automatic driving or a state of a manual driving by an occupant. The automatic driving proposal device or the automatic driving proposal method performs a driving change request to the occupant in the state of the automatic driving, determines whether the automatic driving is possible in the state of the manual driving, calculates a calculation value corresponding to a distance or a prediction time or calculates a change index, and proposes the automatic driving to the occupant on a necessary condition of determining that the automatic driving is possible and also determining that the calculation value is higher than a threshold value or determining that the change index is lower than a threshold value.

Abstract: A vehicle switches between an autonomous driving state, in which the vehicle is responsible for implementing driving tasks including vehicle steering, vehicle driving, vehicle braking, and periphery monitoring, and a manual driving state or a driving assistance state, in which a driver of the vehicle is responsible for implementing at least one of the driving tasks. A processor implements the driving tasks based on a vehicle behavior plan, which indicates a vehicle behavior scheduled in the autonomous driving state, and generates a second task priority plan, which is the vehicle behavior plan until the driving mode is switched from the autonomous driving state to the manual driving state, such that a convenient finish time, at which a second task implemented by the driver in the autonomous driving state is conveniently finished, comes before the driving mode switching.

Abstract: An information presentation control device controlling information presentation to a driver in a vehicle equipped with autonomous driving function is provided. The information presentation control device is configured to: obtain a margin of the driver until an execution of driving change in which the driver takes over the at least partial driving task being performed by the autonomous driving; control a playback mode of a content presented by the information presentation device; stop the content, which is in a playback state, at a stop position in response to the execution of driving change; and set, according to the margin of the driver, a restart position of the content to which the content is rewound from the stop position to restart a playback of the content.
