    摘要: A vehicle control device is equipped with an intersection detection unit configured to detect an intersection that is on a planned travel route of a host vehicle, and in which it is intended to turn to the right or left from a first travel lane across a first oncoming lane, and a driving control unit configured to carry out a travel control automatically, so as to avoid a situation in which the host vehicle is left remaining within the detected intersection.

    摘要: A vehicle control device includes a lane determining unit which, in the event there is a branching path or a merging path in a planned travel route of a host vehicle, is adapted to determine whether or not a lane in which the host vehicle is traveling differs from a lane in which the branching path or the merging path exists, and a lane change instructing unit which, in the event it is determined by the lane determining unit that the lane in which the host vehicle is traveling differs from the lane in which the branching path or the merging path exists, is adapted to set a route so that the host vehicle automatically performs a lane change into the lane in which the branching path or the merging path exists.

    摘要: A vehicle control device includes a takeover operation unit configured to execute operations whereby at least a portion of automated driving is handed over to manual driving performed by a driver, and a duration acquisition unit configured to acquire a duration of the automated driving when the at least a portion of the automated driving is handed over to manual driving performed by the driver. In the case that the duration is greater than or equal to a first predetermined time period, the takeover operation unit performs an operation to hand over driving to manual driving differently from an operation to hand over driving to manual driving in the case that the duration is less than the first predetermined time period.

    摘要: A vehicle control device of the present invention at least partially automatically performs drive control for a vehicle by self-drive and is provided with: a hazard lamp for notification around the vehicle; and a light emitting control unit which, when a predetermined condition is satisfied during self-drive, performs light emitting control causing the hazard lamp to emit light. The light emitting control unit, as well as causing the hazard lamp to emit light, performs light emitting control whereby a lighting member, different from the hazard, for notification around the vehicle is caused to emit light when the hazard lamp is not normal.

    摘要: The present invention provides a vehicle control apparatus that controls automated driving of a vehicle, comprising: a first travel controller configured to control travel of the vehicle; a second travel controller configured to control travel of the vehicle based on an instruction from the first travel controller; a first controller configured to control a first actuator based on an instruction from the first travel controller; and a second controller configured to control a second actuator based on an instruction from the second travel controller, wherein in a case in which degradation of a communication function between the first travel controller and the second travel controller is detected in a state where the actuator group is performed by the second controller, alternative control of the vehicle is performed by the second travel controller.

    摘要: A vehicle control device which at least partially automatically performs travel control of a vehicle includes processor(s) which diagnose failure of functions related to automated driving and to continue the automated driving with the functions partially stopped when a failure is diagnosed, and a light emission unit which provides notification to a surrounding of the vehicle by light emission that the vehicle is controlled in a fallback operation. The processor(s) detect an operation state of the light emission unit, permit execution of the automated driving when the light emission unit operates normally and prohibits the automated driving when the light emission unit does not operate normally.

    摘要: A vehicle control apparatus capable of making a vehicle run by automated driving includes a notification unit configured to notify a course change inside and/or outside the vehicle, and a control unit. The control unit switches the control of the notification unit stepwise in a case in which the course change is necessary before a predetermined point during the automated driving. At a first stage, the notification unit is caused to notify the course change on condition that the state in which the course change is enabled is set. At a second stage at which the vehicle is closer to the predetermined point than at the first stage, the notification unit is caused to notify the course change without condition that the state in which the course change is enabled is set.
