Abstract: A control device includes a model generation unit that generates a control model that formulates a task to be executed, and a task processing unit that causes the vehicle to execute the task by performing model prediction control using the control model. Assuming that a first state space is a state space of the control model used at an execution time of the first task, and a second state space is a state space of the control model used at an execution time of the second task, the task processing unit starts to cause the vehicle to execute the second task, after executing a transition process that is a process of making a value of a state variable that is commonly included in both the first state space and the second state space within a predetermined range that is allowed at the execution time of the second task.

Abstract: A travel controller recognizes an action of a driver of a vehicle from image data of the driver. The travel controller obtains information indicating that determination of whether autonomous driving of the vehicle is permissible cannot be given. When the information indicating that determination of whether the autonomous driving of the vehicle is permissible cannot be given is obtained, the travel controller operates a human interface to request the driver for an instruction to drive the vehicle. The travel controller determines whether the driver is giving an instruction to drive the vehicle from an action of the driver recognized in response to the request for an instruction to drive the vehicle. When determined in the determination process that the driver is giving an instruction to drive the vehicle, the travel controller operates a drive system of the vehicle to permit autonomous driving of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle travel control apparatus includes an information acquiring section; a determining section that determines whether a special road terrain exists; and a speed control section that controls a speed of the subject vehicle. The speed control section is further configured to: when the special road terrain exists but a preceding vehicle does not exist, increase or decrease the speed of the subject vehicle with respect to a pre-set vehicle speed in the energy efficiency zone such that the energy efficiency is improved; and when the special road terrain and a preceding vehicle exists and the speed of the subject vehicle is planned to increase in the energy efficiency zone, control the speed of the subject vehicle in an inter-vehicle distance maintenance zone such that the subject vehicle has an inter-vehicle distance to the preceding vehicle longer than a pre-set inter-vehicle distance.
