Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, despite a timely reminder to the driver to reliably switch to manual mode, the information displayed on the warning display prompting the driver to operate the transfer switch may not be alerted by a driver who is preoccupied with other things
inattentiveness is likely to affect the readiness of the vehicle operator to respond to a request to take manual control of the vehicle

Embodiment Construction

[0035] In general, if figure 1 As shown, the embodiments herein relate to an apparatus 1 for continuously establishing boundaries for the availability of autonomous driving in a vehicle 2 capable of autonomous driving, the vehicle 2 comprising: a remote sensor 3 configured to obtain information 4 about the vehicle's surrounding environment; and A vehicle dynamics sensor 5 configured to determine a vehicle dynamics parameter 6 .

[0036] Today's drivers have little workload in many traffic situations because these driving tasks are relatively simple (eg when driving on highways and country roads with barriers separating oncoming traffic). Even with today's limited sensing systems, these situations can be handled by the vehicle itself in fully automatic mode. However, the device 1 described here is based on the recognition that the driver needs to be continuously informed where such automated driving situations are expected to be possible or where such automated driving situati...

Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus (1) for continuously establishing a boundary for autonomous driving availability, in a vehicle (2) having autonomous driving capabilities and comprising remote sensors (3) for acquiring vehicle surrounding information (4) and vehicle dynamics sensors (5) for determining vehicle dynamics parameters (6), as well as a vehicle (2) comprising such an apparatus (1). At least one of a positioning arrangement (7) that provides map data with associated information; a route planning arrangement (8) that enables route planning; a vehicle driver monitoring arrangement (9) that provides driver monitoring information (10); and a real time information acquiring arrangement, that acquires at least one of traffic information (11 a) and weather information (11 b). The boundary is calculated based on a planned route and at least one of vehicle surrounding information (4), vehicle dynamics parameters (6), driver monitoring information (10), map data, traffic information (11a) and weather information (11b), for the planned route. Changes in the calculated boundary are output to a human machine interface (13) arranged in the vehicle (2).

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments herein relate to an apparatus and method for continuously establishing boundaries of autonomous driving availability in an autonomous driving capable vehicle, and an autonomous driving capable autonomous vehicle including the apparatus. Background technique [0002] A rapidly growing area of ​​autonomous vehicle technology is the field of autonomous or semi-autonomous driving capabilities. This is made possible by the introduction of sensors for sensing vehicle parameters and the surrounding environment and actuators for controlling different vehicle functionalities (eg steering, throttleling, braking). Increased on-board data processing capabilities combine with these sensors and actuators to enable autonomous or semi-autonomous driving capabilities. [0003] When a vehicle is driving in autonomous mode, meaning no action by the driver, the vehicle typically requires multiple sources of data as input to perform autonomous driving, such as...
