Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of road vehicle control systems and relates to the takeover of autonomous driving vehicles. Specifically, it relates to an autonomous driving takeover method and system based on cognitive-execution dual-layer decision-making, which is particularly suitable for the human-machine co-driving control switching scenario of L2-L3 autonomous driving vehicles. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of autonomous driving technology, its practical application has become very common. However, due to the limitations of existing technical solutions, L2-L3 autonomous driving systems still need to transfer vehicle control to the driver in certain operating scenarios that are difficult for autonomous driving systems to handle, thus raising the issue of driving control handover. Existing takeover decision-making methods are mainly based on preset rules or threshold judgments. They suffer from poor scenario adaptability, uneven control transfer, lack of explainability in the decision-making process, and lack of effective takeover guidance. They are unable to meet the requirements of safe takeover in complex driving environments.

[0003] The rapid development of large multimodal language models (MLLMs), with their powerful language understanding and cognitive reasoning capabilities, has opened up new technological avenues for autonomous driving systems. For example, Chinese patent CN 118810764 A discloses a multi-level driving risk management method, system, device, and medium. On the vehicle side, this method performs an initial risk assessment on the simultaneously captured forward-view video stream, vehicle body information data, and DMS video stream to obtain real-time and cumulative risks. A timely alert is issued for real-time risks, and the corresponding cumulative risk data is uploaded to the cloud. A second-level risk assessment is then performed using multiple trained MLLM models to obtain driver status and algorithm confidence information. Alert intervention is initiated for data with high algorithm confidence and high risk, improving risk warning efficiency. However, large multimodal language models have not yet been used in autonomous driving takeover systems. Therefore, how to fully utilize the cognitive reasoning capabilities of large multimodal models and combine them with adaptive execution control strategies to design an accurate, smooth, interpretable, and guided takeover decision-making method has become a key issue urgently needed in the development of autonomous driving technology.
