Embodiment Construction

[0091] Referring next to the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings are only used to illustrate certain exemplary embodiments and not to limit the present invention, figure 1 Shown is a system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention that employs limited-ability autonomous driving (hereinafter referred to as "LAAD") and when used for one or more It ensures preferred operation by initiating fault handling and degradation for limited capability autonomous driving when certain conditions no longer exist or will no longer exist. Specific conditions required for use with LAAD include: satisfaction of operator care standards, likelihood of system 100 to provide preferred and reliable LAAD, and external conditions that allow preferred use of LAAD. The likelihood of the system 100 providing preferred and reliable LAAD usage is determined by not detecting any diagnostic conditions indicative of a system failure / internal fault that prevents pr...

Abstract

A method for ensuring operation of a limited-ability autonomous driving enabled vehicle includes monitoring a plurality of specific conditions necessary for preferred and reliable use of limited-ability autonomous driving, and initiating a fault handling and degradation strategy configured to maneuver the vehicle to a preferred state if the driver is unable to manually control the vehicle when at least one of the specific conditions is either violated or will become violated.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 61 / 319197, filed March 30, 2010, which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to limited capability autonomous driving of road vehicles. Background technique [0004] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and may not constitute prior art. [0005] Automated driving systems and limited capability automated driving systems utilize inputs regarding the road, environment, and other driving conditions to automatically control throttle, braking, and steering mechanisms. Accurately estimating and identifying the smooth path on which a motor vehicle operates is critical to successfully replacing human thinking with a control mechanism for vehicle operation. [0006] Road conditions can be complicated. During normal vehicle operation, a hum...
