Abstract

A vehicle (1), a vehicle system (2) and a method (100) for increasing at least one of safety and comfort during autonomous driving is provided. The vehicle system (2) comprises an autonomous drive arrangement (3) with a plurality of sensors (5), a vehicle control arrangement (8) and a positioning system (4).The vehicle system (2) is arranged to determine an estimated probability that at least one sensor (5) will become unavailable, or an estimated time/ distance ahead until at least one sensor (5) is determined to become unavailable. The vehicle system (2) is further arranged to activate at least one countermeasure based on at least one of the estimated probability, the estimated time and the estimated distance.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments herein relate to vehicle systems configured to increase safety and / or comfort during autonomous driving. Embodiments herein also relate to vehicles comprising vehicle systems arranged to increase safety and / or comfort during autonomous driving and methods for increasing safety and / or comfort during autonomous driving. Background technique [0002] Certain modern vehicles are equipped with one or more systems that enable the vehicle to be set into semi-autonomous and / or autonomous driving modes. These systems may include predictive safety systems, adaptive cruise control systems, lane departure warning systems, navigation systems, communication systems, and / or automatic brake control systems. Some systems may monitor the vehicle's surroundings in order to control the position of the host vehicle relative to the road on which it is traveling, and may further determine the position and / or velocity of surrounding objects such as other vehicles...
