    摘要: In the present invention, an integrated control unit simultaneously causes a long-term route generation unit, an intermediate-term route neratio unit, and a short-term route generation unit to begin generating routes when an automatic driving mode is set to an on state by an automatic driving on setting unit, and a vehicle is instantly subjected to automatic driving control using a short-term route prior to the generation of a long-term route. As a result, the present invention provides a vehicle control device that can immediately perform automatic driving control based on a short-term route after the automatic driving mode of the vehicle is set o the on state and, after generating a long-term route in which riding comfort improves a stepwise manner, perform automatic driving control in which the long-term route and an intermediate-term route are taken into account.

    摘要: A vehicle control apparatus is provided with: a risk degree determinator configured to determine a risk degree of a preceding vehicle, which runs ahead of a host vehicle, on the basis of at least one of a loading aspect and a behavior associated with the preceding vehicle; a setting device configured to set a passing aspect, which is for the host vehicle to pass the preceding vehicle, and configured to set the passing aspect when it is determined that the risk degree of the preceding vehicle is relatively high, to reduce a risk associated with passing in comparison with the passing aspect when it is determined that the risk degree of the preceding vehicle is relatively low; and a controller configured to control the host vehicle to pass the preceding vehicle in the set passing aspect.

    摘要: A host vehicle includes: motor(s), sensors, processor(s) configured to: (a) iterate a series of future properties, comprising future positions, of nearby first and second vehicles based on determined current properties thereof; (b) associate a blindspot with an iterated future position of the second vehicle; (c) determine whether a future position of the first vehicle occupies the blindspot; (d) if so, transmit a message to the second vehicle including a message activation time.
