    摘要: A control device includes: a controller mounted on a vehicle having an autonomous driving function and configured to execute fail-safe control by a backup power supply when a main power supply fails. The controller is configured to: in the fail-safe control, when a remaining charge level of the backup power supply decreases to or below a first threshold set in advance, execute a first notification to notify in advance an inside of the vehicle that the vehicle is likely to stop due to a shortage of the remaining charge level of the backup power supply; and when the remaining charge level of the backup power supply decreases to or below a second threshold that is smaller than the first threshold, execute a second notification to notify an outside of the vehicle that the vehicle stops.

    摘要: A lamp system includes a road surface drawing lamp that illuminates a road surface with a beam BM, and a lamp controlling unit that controls the road surface drawing lamp and draws, with the beam BM, a pattern PTN on the road surface ahead of a vehicle. The lamp controlling unit draws a first pattern before a start of a predetermined event and draws a second pattern at the start of the event. The first pattern includes first information to be presented in advance to a driver to allow the driver to respond to the event, and the second pattern includes second information corresponding to the event.

    摘要: A notification device includes a calculation unit calculating, based on a speed of a vehicle, a vehicle stoppage distance by which the vehicle travels until the vehicle enters a stopped state while performing autonomous driving, a notification unit performing notification about information with respect to an outside of the vehicle, and a notification controller causing the notification unit not to perform notification about information indicating that the vehicle is in the middle of deceleration until the vehicle passes by a first soon-to-cross pedestrian and to cause the notification unit to perform notification about the information after the vehicle passes by the first soon-to-cross pedestrian when a distance between the vehicle and the first soon-to-cross pedestrian is smaller than the vehicle stoppage distance and a distance between the vehicle and a second soon-to-cross pedestrian is equal to or greater than the vehicle stoppage distance.

    摘要: Provided herein is a system and method implemented on a vehicle. The system comprises one or more sensors, one or more processors, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to perform: obtaining data from the one or more sensors; comparing the obtained data from the one or more sensors with reference data; determining whether one or more characteristics of the obtained data deviate from corresponding characteristics of the reference data by more than a respective threshold; in response to determining that one or more characteristics of the data obtained deviate from corresponding characteristics of the reference data by more than a respective threshold, determining an action of the vehicle based on amounts of the one or more deviations; and performing the determined action.
