Abstract: An obtaining unit obtains sensing data indicating a state of a driver from a monitoring sensor for monitoring the state of the driver. A determination unit determines a degree of concentration of the driver on driving based on the sensing data. A notification controller controls, when the determination unit determines that the degree of concentration satisfies a first criterion, a notification unit to notify, before the drive mode is switched, the driver that the drive mode will be switched to the automatic drive mode, and controls, when the determination unit determines that the degree of concentration does not satisfy the first criterion, the notification unit not to notify, before the drive mode is switched, the driver that the drive mode will be switched.

Abstract: A drive mode switch controller receives a switch request for switching from a manual drive mode to an automatic drive mode when switching the drive mode of a vehicle between the manual drive mode and the automatic drive mode. The drive mode switch controller outputs, in response to the received switch request, a first switch signal for switching from the manual drive mode to the automatic drive mode, and a disconnecting command for disconnecting the steering wheel from the wheels of the vehicle.

Abstract: A driver state recognition apparatus that recognizes a state of a driver of a vehicle provided with an autonomous driving system includes an image acquisition unit that acquires an image captured by a camera that captures the driver, a hand detection unit that detects the hands of the driver from the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, an object holding state detection unit that detects the holding state of an object by the hands of the driver detected by the hand detection unit, and a readiness determination unit that determines whether the driver is in a state of being able to immediately operate a steering wheel of the vehicle during autonomous driving, based on the holding state of the object detected by the object holding state detection unit.

Abstract: A driver state recognition apparatus that recognizes a state of a driver of a vehicle having an autonomous driving system includes a state recognition data acquisition unit that acquires state recognition data of a state of a foot of a driver's seat of the vehicle, a leg state inference unit that infers a state of the driver's legs using the state recognition data acquired by the state recognition data acquisition unit, and a readiness determination unit that determines whether the driver is in a state of being able to immediately operate the pedal of the vehicle during autonomous driving, based on inference information from the leg state inference unit.

Abstract: A stop intention determination apparatus is mounted in a vehicle provided with an autonomous driving mode and determines an intention of a driver to stop the vehicle during driving in the autonomous driving mode. The stop intention determination apparatus includes: an input signal acquiring portion configured to acquire an input signal from a hazard lamp switch during driving in the autonomous driving mode; a stop intention determining portion configured to determine the intention of the driver to stop the vehicle based on the acquired input signal; and a signal output portion configured to output a signal for giving an instruction to stop the vehicle through autonomous driving to an autonomous driving control apparatus, if it is determined by the stop intention determining portion that the input signal is a signal indicating the intention of the driver to stop the vehicle.
