    Abstract: A vehicle control device of the embodiment includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding situation of a vehicle and a driving controller configured to control one or both of steering and a speed of the vehicle on the basis of the surrounding situation recognized by the recognizer, in which the driving controller causes the vehicle to travel by executing any one of a plurality of driving modes including at least a first driving mode and a second driving mode in which a task imposed on an occupant of the vehicle is heavier than in the first driving mode, and switches from the first driving mode to the second driving mode when a first section in which the number of lanes of a road on which the vehicle travels is different from the current number of lanes and a second section in which a road having at least three lanes branches are present within a predetermined distance in a traveling direction of the vehicle while the first driving mode is executed.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a driver controlling system for a vehicle comprising a propulsive actuator unit, a propulsive sensor unit, and a control unit. The control unit prompts the propulsive actuator unit to apply a driving parameter in an automated driving mode of the vehicle. The driving parameter is based on a driving preference of a driver. The control unit further modifies the driving parameter of the automated driving mode by a defined rate of deviation for causing a reaction of the driver. The propulsive sensor unit generates driver engagement data based on the reaction of the driver to the modified driving parameter. The rate of deviation may be varied and/or the driving parameter may be incrementally modified from a prior modified driving parameter by the defined rate of deviation, in case of insufficient reaction of the user.

    Abstract: A system and method of inducing and controlling coasting of a vehicle are able to prevent unnecessary acceleration and deceleration, improve fuel efficiency, and prevent a safety accident of a driver and pedestrians by dividing a preset distance from a vehicle to a signal lamp into four or more sections on the basis of road signal information, etc., and by performing deceleration induction, deceleration control, acceleration induction, coasting induction, creep torque control in coasting, etc. for sections, respectively, based on information of a vehicle speed, a signal lamp, etc.

    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for controlling a vehicle based on a map that designed using a factor graph. Because the map is designed using a factor graph, positions of the road can be modified in real-time while operating the vehicle. In one example, the method may include storing a map which is associated with a factor graph of variable nodes representing a plurality of constraints that define positions of lane lines in a road and factor nodes between the variable nodes on the factor graph which define positioning constraints amongst the variable nodes, receiving an indication from the road using a sensor of a vehicle, updating positions of the variable nodes based on the indication and an estimated location of the vehicle within the map, and issue commands capable of controlling a steering operation of the vehicle based on the updated positions of the factor nodes.

    Abstract: A vehicular sensing system includes a sensor disposed at a vehicle. The vehicular sensing system generates a three-dimensional point cloud of data representing a three-dimensional scene exterior of the vehicle within a field of sensing of the sensor. The virtual range image includes a set of points representing the three-dimensional point cloud of data. The system, for each respective point, classifies the respective point as occluded or non-occluded. The system determines one or more occlusion regions based on the classification for the respective points. Each occlusion region includes a region that is within the field of sensing of the sensor but that is not sensed by the sensor due to an object obstructing the sensor from the sensing region. The system tracks a moving detected object as it enters an occlusion region and predicts where the moving detected object will exit from the occlusion region.

    Abstract: A mobile object control device of an embodiment includes a lane marking candidate recognizer configured to recognize candidates for a lane marking that demarcates a traveling lane in which a mobile object travels from an image including surroundings of the mobile object captured by an imaging unit, a virtual line setter configured to set at least one or more virtual lines outside of the lane marking recognized in the past as a lane marking that demarcates the traveling lane, when viewed from the mobile object, and a lane marking searcher configured to search for a lane marking that demarcates a current traveling lane of the mobile object on the basis of the lane marking candidates recognized by the lane marking candidate recognizer and the one or more virtual lines.
