Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle insurance, and more particularly to a method, apparatus, device, and readable storage medium for determining liability for autonomous driving insurance of intelligent connected vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent connected vehicles, through the organic integration of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology and intelligent vehicles, are characterized by the presence of onboard sensors, controllers, actuators, and other devices, along with the integration of modern communication and network technologies to achieve intelligent information exchange and sharing between vehicles, people, roads, and back-end systems. The autonomous driving functions of intelligent connected vehicles can assist drivers or autonomously complete some driving tasks, greatly improving driving convenience and comfort, and have become a key direction for the transformation and upgrading of the global automotive industry.

[0003] With the rapid rise of intelligent driving vehicles and the popularization of L2+ level autonomous driving subscription services, autonomous driving accidents are inevitable. However, the lack of automated and standardized methods for determining liability in autonomous driving accidents makes post-accident handling difficult. Furthermore, due to the complexity of autonomous driving functions and the involvement of multiple stakeholders, including drivers, autonomous driving systems, and automakers, a standardized, automated, and reliable method for determining liability in autonomous driving accidents is needed to improve efficiency and protect the rights of drivers, automakers, and autonomous driving function suppliers.

[0004] Meanwhile, existing literature determines accident liability based on factors such as meeting autonomous driving setting conditions, whether the ADS (Autonomous Driving System) is malfunctioning, and whether there was human intervention in the vehicle. However, in practice, different automakers lack a unified field for autonomous driving setting conditions to determine liability, requiring a comprehensive assessment based on actual vehicle operating parameters. Furthermore, existing methods lack analysis of key parameters such as human-machine interaction, driver's pre-accident state, and consistency between user and system operations, leading to unclear liability determinations or even incorrect attribution in some scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this invention proposes a method, device, equipment, and readable storage medium for determining liability for autonomous driving in intelligent connected vehicles. It constructs a model for determining liability for autonomous driving, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of drivers, automakers, and autonomous driving function suppliers, thereby promoting the sustainable development of the intelligent connected vehicle industry.

[0006] Specifically, this invention proposes a method for determining liability for autonomous driving in intelligent connected vehicles, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1, acquire accident data of autonomous driving accidents, the accident data including vehicle dynamic data, autonomous driving function data, driver operation data, driver status data, human-vehicle interaction data and other data;

[0008] S2, determine the time of the vehicle accident based on the vehicle dynamic data;

[0009] S3. Based on the driver status data, determine whether the driver status is normal. If normal, proceed to step S4; if abnormal, proceed to step S14.

[0010] S4. Based on the human-vehicle interaction data and other data, determine whether the autonomous driving function was normal before the accident. If it was normal, proceed to step S5; if it was abnormal, proceed to step S13.

[0011] S5. Based on the determined vehicle accident time, autonomous driving function data and human-vehicle interaction data, determine whether the autonomous driving function boundary has been exceeded. If it has not been exceeded, proceed to step S6. If it has been exceeded, proceed to step S14.

[0012] S6. Based on the determined time of the vehicle accident and the data of the autonomous driving function, determine whether the autonomous driving function was running at the time of the accident. If yes, proceed to step S7; otherwise, proceed to step S8.

[0013] S7. Determine the consistency between the driver's and the system's operations. If they are consistent, proceed to step S13; otherwise, proceed to step S14.

[0014] S8. Determine if there is an emergency before the autonomous driving function exits. If not, proceed to step S14; if so, proceed to step S9.

[0015] S9. Determine the completeness of the automatic driving takeover reminder. If it is incomplete, proceed to step S10; if it is complete, proceed to step S11.

[0016] S10: Based on the determined time of the vehicle accident and the data of the autonomous driving function, determine whether an accident occurred in a short period of time. If yes, proceed to step S13; otherwise, proceed to step S14.

[0017] S11. Based on the determined time of the vehicle accident and the data of the autonomous driving function, determine whether the autonomous driving takeover reminder is timely. If not, proceed to step S13; if yes, proceed to step S12.

[0018] S12, determine whether the driver takes over after the automatic driving takeover reminder. If yes, proceed to step S13; otherwise, proceed to step S14.

[0019] S13, determined to be responsible for autonomous driving safety, proceed to step S15;

[0020] S14, determined to be non-autonomous driving safety responsibility, proceed to step S15;

[0021] S15, End.

[0022] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the time point in the vehicle dynamic data where the absolute value of the longitudinal acceleration is the largest and negative is T1, and the time point where the vehicle's lateral acceleration first becomes 0 is T2. The earlier of the two times is selected as the accident occurrence time T.

[0023] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step S3 includes:

[0024] S31, determine whether fatigue has occurred and take over the information immediately. If not, proceed to step S32; if yes, proceed to step S14.

[0025] S32, determine whether there is an immediate takeover message. If not, proceed to step S33; if yes, proceed to step S14.

[0030] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step S4 includes the following steps:

[0031] S41, determine whether a safety alarm occurred before the accident. If yes, proceed to step S42; otherwise, proceed to step S13.

[0032] S42, determine whether a third-party signal appeared before the accident. If not, proceed to step S5; if yes, proceed to step S13.

[0033] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the safety alarm includes lane departure warning, forward collision warning, steering wheel vibration reminder, and autonomous driving function warning.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S5, the determination of whether the accident exceeds the boundary of the autonomous driving function is based on the determined vehicle accident occurrence time T, the first takeover request time T3 in the accident data, and the autonomous driving function exit time T4 in the accident data.

[0035] Specifically, when the autonomous driving function data shows a first set condition requiring immediate takeover, the system determines that it has issued a takeover request, obtains the time set {T request} corresponding to the takeover request in the accident data, and selects the first data in the accident data within {T request} as the first takeover request time T3; if the system does not issue a takeover request, the first takeover request time T3 is set to NA.

[0036] When the function status signal of the autonomous driving function data meets the second set condition, it is determined that the autonomous driving function has exited. The set of time corresponding to the exit of the autonomous driving function in the accident data {T exit} is obtained, and the last data before the accident occurrence time T in the accident data in {T exit} is selected as the exit time T4 of the autonomous driving function. If the autonomous driving function has not exited in the accident data, the exit time T4 of the autonomous driving function is NA.

[0037] If the initial takeover request time T3 or the automatic driving function exit time T4 occurs within s seconds before the accident occurrence time T, proceed to step S14; otherwise, proceed to step S6.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S6, the autonomous driving function data at the time T of the vehicle accident is extracted. If the autonomous driving function status is running, it is considered that the autonomous driving function is running normally at the time of the accident; if the autonomous driving function status is suspended or closed, it is considered that the autonomous driving function is closed at the time of the accident.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S7, determining the consistency between the driver's and the system's operations includes the following steps:

[0041] S72, determine whether an inconsistency warning occurred before the accident. If yes, proceed to step S14; otherwise, proceed to step S13.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in step S8, if there are minor or serious alarm signals for lane departure warning, forward collision warning, steering wheel vibration reminder, and autonomous driving function warning before the autonomous driving function is discontinued, it is determined that there is an emergency before the autonomous driving function is discontinued; if the lane departure warning, forward collision warning, steering wheel vibration reminder, and autonomous driving function warning remain normal before the autonomous driving function is discontinued, it is determined that there is no emergency before the autonomous driving function is discontinued.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in step S9, if there is a serious alarm or immediate takeover signal in the pre-accident autonomous driving function warning, it is determined that the autonomous driving takeover reminder is complete; if the pre-accident autonomous driving function warning remains normal or has a minor alarm signal, it is determined that the autonomous driving takeover reminder is incomplete.

[0044] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in step S10, if the difference between the accident occurrence time T and the automatic driving function exit time T4 is less than or equal to a given time, it is determined that an accident occurred shortly after the active takeover; if the difference between the accident occurrence time T and the automatic driving function exit time T4 is greater than a given time, it is determined that no accident occurred shortly after the active takeover.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in step S11, if the autonomous driving function warning has a normal or minor alarm to a serious situation and an immediate takeover signal change before the given time period T of the accident, it is determined that the autonomous driving takeover reminder is timely and proceeds to step S12; if the autonomous driving function warning has no normal or minor alarm to a serious situation and an immediate takeover signal change before the given time period T of the accident, it is determined that the autonomous driving takeover reminder is not timely and proceeds to step S13.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step S12 includes:

[0047] S121, Determine whether the gear was manually switched. If not, proceed to step S122; if yes, proceed to step S13.

[0048] S122, determine whether the brake was manually applied. If not, proceed to step S123; if yes, proceed to step S13.

[0049] S123, determine whether the accelerator pedal has been manually pressed. If not, proceed to step S124; if yes, proceed to step S13.

[0050] S124, determine whether the steering wheel was turned manually. If not, proceed to step S14; if so, proceed to step S13.

[0051] The present invention also provides a device for determining liability for autonomous driving in intelligent connected vehicles, applicable to the aforementioned determination method, the device comprising:

[0052] The acquisition module is used to acquire accident data of autonomous driving accidents. The accident data includes vehicle dynamic data, autonomous driving function data, driver operation data, driver status data, human-vehicle interaction data, and other data.

[0081] Table 1 Example of Accident Data

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] S2, determine the time of a vehicle accident based on vehicle dynamic data;

[0085] S3. Determine whether the driver's status is normal based on the driver's status data. If normal, proceed to step S4; if abnormal, proceed to step S14.

[0086] S4. Based on human-vehicle interaction data and other data, determine whether the autonomous driving function was normal before the accident. If it was normal, proceed to step S5; if it was abnormal, proceed to step S13.

[0087] S5. Based on the determined vehicle accident time, autonomous driving function data and human-vehicle interaction data, determine whether the autonomous driving function boundary has been exceeded. If it has not been exceeded, proceed to step S6. If it has been exceeded, proceed to step S14.

[0088] S6. Based on the determined time of the vehicle accident and the data of the autonomous driving function, determine whether the autonomous driving function was running at the time of the accident. If yes, proceed to step S7; otherwise, proceed to step S8.

[0089] S7. Determine the consistency between the driver's and the system's operations. If they are consistent, proceed to step S13; otherwise, proceed to step S14.

[0090] S8. Determine if there is an emergency before the autonomous driving function exits. If not, proceed to step S14; if so, proceed to step S9.

[0091] S9. Determine the completeness of the automatic driving takeover reminder. If it is incomplete, proceed to step S10; if it is complete, proceed to step S11.

[0092] S10: Based on the determined time of the vehicle accident and the data of the autonomous driving function, determine whether an accident occurred in a short period of time. If yes, proceed to step S13; otherwise, proceed to step S14.

[0093] S11. Based on the determined time of the vehicle accident and the data of the autonomous driving function, determine whether the autonomous driving takeover reminder is timely. If not, proceed to step S13; if yes, proceed to step S12.

[0094] S12, determine whether the driver takes over after the automatic driving takeover reminder. If yes, proceed to step S13; otherwise, proceed to step S14.

[0095] S13, determined to be responsible for autonomous driving safety, proceed to step S15;

[0096] S14, determined to be non-autonomous driving safety responsibility, proceed to step S15;

[0097] S15, End.

[0098] Preferably, in step S2, referring to Table 2, the time point where the absolute value of the longitudinal acceleration is the largest and negative in the vehicle dynamic data is T1, and the time point where the vehicle's lateral acceleration first becomes 0 is T2. The earlier of the two times is selected as the accident occurrence time T. The accident occurrence time T is used as the standard for subsequent judgment.

[0099] Table 2 Example of Vehicle Dynamic Data

[0100]

[0101] Preferably, in step S3, if the driver's condition is abnormal, the accident liability is determined to be the responsibility of the non-automatic driving system; if the driver's condition is normal, proceed to the next step.

[0102] Step S3, based on the driver status data and referring to Table 3, specifically includes:

[0103] S31, determine whether the fatigue alarm information in the driver status data contains the 3-fatigue immediate takeover information. If not, the fatigue alarm information remains at 0-normal, 1-slight fatigue, 2-moderate fatigue. Then proceed to step S32. If yes, proceed to step S14.

[0104] S32, determine whether the hands-off alarm information in the driver status data contains the 3-hands-off immediate takeover information. If not, the hands-off alarm information remains at 0-normal, 1-slight hands-off, 2-moderate hands-off record, then proceed to step S33. If yes, proceed to step S14.

[0105] S33, determine whether the distraction alarm information in the driver status data shows 3-distraction immediate takeover information. If not, the distraction alarm information remains at 0-normal, 1-minor distraction, 2-moderate distraction record, then proceed to step S34. If yes, then proceed to step S14.

[0106] S34, determine whether the call alarm information in the driver status data shows 1 - call call immediately take over information. If not, the call alarm information remains 0 - normal, then proceed to step S35. If yes, then proceed to step S14.

[0108] S36, determine whether the alarm information for the four doors and two hoods in the driver status data shows that the four doors and two hoods are open. If not, proceed to step S4; if yes, proceed to step S14.

[0109] Specifically, if the judgment result in any of the above steps S31 to S36 is that the driver's condition is abnormal, the final accident liability will be determined as the responsibility for non-automatic driving protection (step S13). If the judgment result in any of the steps is that the driver's condition is normal, the next stage of judgment will proceed.

[0110] Table 3 Example of Driver Status Data

[0111]

[0112] Preferably, step S4 includes the following steps:

[0113] S41, determine whether a safety alarm occurred before the accident. If yes, proceed to step S42; otherwise, proceed to step S13.

[0114] S42, determine whether a third-party signal appeared before the accident. If not, proceed to step S5; if yes, proceed to step S13.

[0115] More preferably, referring to Table 4, the safety alarms (contents) include lane departure warning, forward collision warning, steering wheel vibration reminder, and autonomous driving function warning.

[0116] Table 4: Examples of Human-Vehicle Interaction Data

[0117]

[0118]

[0119] If the lane departure warning, forward collision warning, steering wheel vibration reminder, and automatic driving function warning are 1-minor alarm, 2-serious alarm, or immediate takeover before an accident, the automatic driving function is considered to be normal. If the lane departure warning, forward collision warning, steering wheel vibration reminder, and automatic driving function warning remain at 0-normal before an accident, the automatic driving function is considered to be abnormal.

[0120] Table 5 Examples of Other Data

[0121] Classification content describe type Other data Third-party signal around the car 0 - Normal; 1 - Abnormal numerical values

[0122] Referring to Table 5, if the third-party signal remains at 0 (normal) before the accident, the autonomous driving function is considered to be normal; if the third-party signal is at 1 (abnormal) before the accident, the autonomous driving function is considered to be abnormal.

[0123] If either step S41 or S42 indicates that the autonomous driving function is malfunctioning, the final liability for the accident will be determined as the responsibility for ensuring the autonomous driving function (step 13). If either step indicates that the autonomous driving function is operating normally, proceed to the next stage of judgment.

[0124] Preferably, in step S5, the determination of whether the accident exceeds the boundary of the autonomous driving function is based on the determined vehicle accident occurrence time T, the first takeover request time T3 in the accident data, and the autonomous driving function exit time T4 in the accident data.

[0125] Specifically, when the autonomous driving function data shows a first pre-defined condition requiring immediate takeover, the system determines that it has issued a takeover request, obtains the time set {T request} corresponding to the takeover request within the accident data, and selects the first data within the accident data in {T request} as the first takeover request time T3; if the system does not issue a takeover request, the first takeover request time T3 is set to NA; referring to Table 4, the first pre-defined condition is when the autonomous driving function warning signal shows a 2-serious situation requiring immediate takeover, it is determined that the system has issued a takeover request.

[0126] When the function status signal of the autonomous driving function data meets the second set condition, it is determined that the autonomous driving function has exited. The set of times corresponding to the exit of the autonomous driving function in the accident data {T exit} is obtained, and the last data before the accident occurrence time T in the accident data within {T exit} is selected as the exit time T4 of the autonomous driving function. If the autonomous driving function has not exited in the accident data, the exit time T4 of the autonomous driving function is NA. Referring to Table 6, when the autonomous driving function status signal in the autonomous driving function data changes from 0-running to 1-suspended or 2-closed, it is determined that the autonomous driving function has exited.

[0127] If the initial takeover request time T3 or the autonomous driving function exit time T4 occurs within s seconds before the accident occurrence time T, it is determined that the autonomous driving function boundary has been exceeded, and the process proceeds to step S14 (determined as non-autonomous driving protection responsibility). If the initial takeover request time T3 or the autonomous driving function exit time T4 does not occur within s seconds before the accident occurrence time T, it is determined that the autonomous driving function boundary has not been exceeded, and the process proceeds to step S6.

[0129]

[0130] Preferably, in step S6, the autonomous driving function data at the time T of the vehicle accident is extracted. Referring to Table 6, if the autonomous driving function status is 0 - running, it is considered that the autonomous driving function was running normally at the time of the accident; if the autonomous driving function status is 1 - suspended or 2 - off, it is considered that the autonomous driving function was off at the time of the accident.

[0131] Preferably, in step S7, determining the consistency between the driver's and the system's operations includes the following steps:

If yes, determine that the driver's operation is consistent with the system operation and proceed to step S13. If no, proceed to step S72.

[0133] S72, determine whether an inconsistency warning occurred before the accident. If yes, determine that the driver's operation is inconsistent with the system operation and proceed to step S14.

[0149] Preferably, in step S9, referring to Table 4, if the automatic driving function warning has a 2-serious alarm or immediate takeover signal before the accident, it is determined that the automatic driving takeover reminder is complete; if the automatic driving function warning remains at 0-normal or 1-minor alarm signal before the accident, it is determined that the automatic driving takeover reminder is incomplete.

[0150] Preferably, in step S10, if the difference between the accident occurrence time T and the autonomous driving function exit time T4 is less than or equal to a given time, it is determined that an accident occurred shortly after the active takeover, and the process proceeds to step S13, where the responsibility for autonomous driving protection is determined. If the difference between the accident occurrence time T and the autonomous driving function exit time T4 is greater than the given time, it is determined that no accident occurred shortly after the active takeover, and the process proceeds to step S14, where the responsibility for non-autonomous driving protection is determined. The given time can be set to 4 seconds, or adjusted according to the actual situation of the vehicle manufacturer.

[0151] Preferably, in step S11, if, before the given time period T of the accident, referring to Table 4, the autonomous driving function warning shows a transition from 0 (normal) or 1 (minor alarm) to 2 (serious situation) with an immediate takeover signal, then it is determined that the autonomous driving takeover reminder is timely, and the process proceeds to step S12; if, before the given time period T of the accident, the autonomous driving function warning does not show a transition from 0 (normal) or 1 (minor alarm) to 2 (serious situation) with an immediate takeover signal, then it is determined that the autonomous driving takeover reminder is untimely, and the process proceeds to step S13, whereby the responsibility for autonomous driving protection is determined. The given time period can be set to 0–4 seconds before the accident, or adjusted according to the actual situation of the vehicle manufacturer.

[0152] Preferably, in step S12, if the driver takes over after being alerted to take over, the liability for the accident is determined to be the responsibility for the autonomous driving guarantee; if the driver does not take over after being alerted to take over, the liability for the accident is determined to be the responsibility for the non-autonomous driving guarantee.

[0153] Step S12 specifically includes:

[0154] S121, determine whether the gear was manually switched. If not, proceed to step S122; if yes, proceed to step S13. Referring to Table 12, if the driver's operation data shows a gear shift to P, N, or R after the takeover reminder, it is determined that the driver took over after the takeover reminder, and proceed to step S13, determining the responsibility for autonomous driving protection. If the gear remains in D after the takeover reminder, it is determined that the driver did not take over after the takeover reminder.

[0155] Table 12 Gear Information Record

[0156]

[0157] S122, determine whether the brake pedal was manually pressed. If not, proceed to step S123; if so, proceed to step S13. Referring to Table 7, if the brake pedal opening degree is greater than the first threshold after the takeover warning, it is determined that the driver took over after the takeover warning, and proceed to step S13, determining the responsibility for autonomous driving protection. If the brake pedal opening degree remains 0 or less than the first threshold, it is determined that the driver did not take over after the takeover warning. The first threshold can be determined based on the specific value of the brake pedal opening degree through experiments conducted by different car manufacturers.

[0158] S123, determine whether the accelerator pedal was manually pressed. If not, proceed to step S124; if so, proceed to step S13. Referring to Table 8, if the accelerator pedal opening degree is greater than the second threshold after the takeover warning, it is determined that the driver took over after the takeover warning, and proceed to step S13, determining the responsibility for autonomous driving protection. If the accelerator pedal opening degree remains 0 or less than the second threshold, it is determined that the driver did not take over after the takeover warning. The second threshold can be determined based on experiments conducted by different car manufacturers to determine the specific value of the accelerator pedal opening degree.

Referring to Table 9, if the steering wheel angle changes after the takeover warning, it is determined that the driver took over after the takeover warning, and proceed to step S13, determining the responsibility for automatic driving protection; if the steering wheel angle does not change, it is determined that the driver did not take over after the takeover warning, and proceed to step S14, determining the responsibility for non-automatic driving protection.

[0160] In other words, if the result of any step S121 to S124 indicates that the driver took over after receiving a take-off warning, the final accident liability will be determined as the responsibility for ensuring the autonomous driving system (step S13). If the result of any step S121 to S124 indicates that the driver did not take over after receiving a take-off warning, the final accident liability will be determined as the responsibility for ensuring the non-autonomous driving system (step S14).
