AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

If a driver gains control of the vehicle without warning, it may lead to erroneous operation. Existing ACC systems fail to effectively alert drivers in extreme situations, resulting in safety hazards.

Method used

The vehicle's surroundings are identified by the recognition unit. The control unit judges the accuracy of the parameters and, if the recognition accuracy is below a threshold, notifies the driver in advance through the first and second notification units that following the vehicle may be canceled. The notification frequency is adjusted based on the driver's response to improve the driver's awareness.

Benefits of technology

Informing drivers in advance that their accompanying driving may be cancelled helps them prepare mentally, avoids incorrect operation, and improves driving safety.

Abstract

A vehicle control system and method are disclosed, allowing users to gradually become familiar with scenarios where follow-driving will be canceled. When a recognition unit identifies a vehicle ahead, a control unit controls the vehicle to perform follow-driving. Based on external information identified by the recognition unit, the control unit determines whether to continue follow-driving according to multiple parameters. The control unit further determines the accuracy of each of the multiple parameters and outputs the recognition accuracy. When the follow conditions corresponding to the multiple parameters do not meet the follow-driving rules, a first notification unit cancels the follow-driving or issues a first notification that the follow-driving has been canceled. The follow-driving rules include: the recognition accuracy of multiple parameters is lower than a threshold recognition accuracy, or at least one of the accuracy of each of the multiple parameters is lower than the threshold accuracy. When the control unit determines that the recognition accuracy is lower than the first accuracy, a second notification unit issues a second notification to cancel the follow-driving before the first notification is executed.
