Abstract

The invention provides an assisting device, an assisting method and a program to allow a drive mode to be switched at a suitable location and to enhance stability. The assisting device assists mode switching. The mode switching is a process in which a drive mode of a vehicle is switched between a manual drive mode and an automatic drive mode. The assisting device is provided with an acquisition unit and a calculation unit. The acquisition unit acquires surrounding data that represents the surrounding circumstances of a vehicle. The calculation unit calculates, on the basis of the acquired surrounding data, a mode switching recommendation location at which the mode switching is to be recommended.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technique for switching a driving mode of a vehicle between a manual driving mode and an automatic driving mode. Background technique [0002] Automated driving technology for vehicles is attracting attention, and research on autonomous driving modes has begun. The automatic driving mode is a mode in which the computer is the main body to drive the vehicle, which is different from the manual driving mode in which the driver (driver) relies on his own limbs and senses to operate the vehicle. [0003] The automatic driving mode can control the power unit, steering device, brake, etc. based on various information obtained by various sensors and communications to realize the automatic driving of the vehicle. For example, using positioning information obtained by GPS (Global Positioning System: Global Positioning System), map information of a car navigation system, traffic information obtained by road-to-vehicle communica...
