Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of autonomous driving technology, and in particular to intelligent driving function interaction methods, devices, lever devices, and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] As the level of driver assistance increases, the intelligent driving function switches need to be more convenient for drivers to quickly select the functions they need, and to adjust the following distance and target speed more easily, so that drivers can use the driver assistance functions more easily and conveniently.

[0003] Currently, different buttons on the left side of the steering wheel are used to define switches for ADAS functions such as speed adjustment and time distance adjustment, enabling the selection of intelligent driving functions. However, most of these switch schemes are cumbersome to use, requiring users to learn and become familiar with them, and are prone to errors when driving at high speeds.

[0004] Therefore, proposing a simple and easy-to-learn solution for switching driver assistance functions is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0005] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this application and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main objective of this application is to provide an intelligent driving function interaction method, device, lever device, and storage medium, aiming to solve the technical problem of proposing a simple and easy-to-learn driving assistance function switching scheme.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes an intelligent driving function interaction method, which is applied to a lever device with a knob and an end button, wherein the end button integrates a fingerprint recognition sensor. The method includes:

[0008] During driving, when the vehicle speed meets the requirements for activating the ADAS function, the function selection menu is triggered by the end button, and the displayed content includes ADAS functions arranged in a certain order.

[0009] In response to the first operation of the end button, the target ADAS function is determined and activated;

[0010] When the target ADAS function is activated, in response to the second operation of the end button, the target vehicle speed is set by the end button;

[0011] When the target ADAS function is activated, the target vehicle speed is adjusted by responding to the operation of the knob.

[0012] When the time distance between vehicles can be adjusted, the time distance is adjusted in response to the lever operation;

[0013] When fingerprint information is recognized by the fingerprint recognition sensor, the corresponding ADAS function can be quickly accessed by different fingerprint information.

[0014] When the shifting conditions are met, the shifting operation is performed using the lever or button.

[0015] In one embodiment, during driving, when the vehicle speed meets the requirements for activating ADAS functions, the display of a function selection menu is triggered by the terminal button. The displayed content includes ADAS functions arranged in a certain order. Responding to a first operation of the terminal button, the target intelligent driving assistance function is determined and activated, including:

[0016] Obtain the preset vehicle speed threshold, the first preset time interval, and the second preset time interval;

[0017] If the current vehicle speed is greater than the preset vehicle speed threshold, the function selection menu can be brought up on the instrument panel by pressing the end button.

[0018] Within the first preset time interval after calling up the function selection menu, the ADAS function can be selected by pressing the button again;

[0019] If no press of the end button is detected within a second time interval after the selected function is selected, the selected ADAS function is activated.

[0020] In one embodiment, the step of setting a target vehicle speed via the end button in response to a second operation when the target ADAS function is activated includes:

[0021] When the target ADAS function is activated, the road speed limit is set to the target vehicle speed by continuously pressing the end button for a fixed time.

[0022] When the target ADAS function is activated, if it is detected that the accelerator pedal is pressed and the button is pressed for more than the fixed time, the current vehicle speed is set to the target vehicle speed.

[0023] In one embodiment, adjusting the target vehicle speed via the knob in response to the operation of the knob when the target ADAS function is activated includes:

[0024] Obtain the first preset target vehicle speed variable value and the second preset target vehicle speed variable value;

[0025] After the ADAS function is activated, obtain the default position of the knob;

[0026] If the knob is detected to return to the default position after being rotated upwards, the first preset target vehicle speed variable value is added to the target vehicle speed;

[0027] If the knob is detected to return to the default position after being rotated downwards, the first preset target vehicle speed variable value is reduced to the target vehicle speed.

[0028] If the knob is detected to remain rotated upwards, the second preset target vehicle speed variable value is increased to the target vehicle speed according to a preset cycle;

[0029] If the knob is detected to remain rotated downwards, the second preset target vehicle speed variable value is reduced according to a preset period.

[0030] In one embodiment, the step of quickly accessing the corresponding ADAS function based on different fingerprint information when fingerprint information is recognized by the fingerprint recognition sensor includes:

[0031] Multiple fingerprints are pre-registered using the fingerprint recognition sensor;

[0032] Select the fingerprint information to bind different ADAS functions that can be accessed quickly;

[0033] The fingerprint recognition sensor is used to acquire the fingerprint information to be matched.

[0034] If the fingerprint information to be matched fails to match the fingerprint information, then the above steps are performed;

[0035] If the fingerprint information to be matched successfully matches the fingerprint information, a message indicating successful recognition will be displayed.

[0036] If it is detected that the end button is pressed a fixed number of times in a third preset time interval, the fingerprint information to be matched will quickly enter the corresponding ADAS function.

[0037] If no number of consecutive presses of the end button within the third preset time interval are detected, the fingerprint information to be matched will be re-identified.

[0038] In one embodiment, before quickly accessing the corresponding ADAS function using different fingerprint information when fingerprint information is recognized by the fingerprint recognition sensor, the method further includes:

[0039] Obtain the parameters corresponding to the fingerprint information to be matched for quick access to ADAS function, including following distance, hands-off detection time, alarm sound and automatic follow start time;

[0040] The following distance can be set to a personalized setting, which supports setting different levels of following distance from a first preset following distance to a second preset following distance.

[0041] The hands-free detection time can be set to be personalized, and the hands-free detection supports setting different levels of hands-free detection alarm time between a first preset hands-free detection time and a second preset hands-free detection time;

[0042] The alarm sound can be set to a personalized setting, and the alarm sound can be customized.

[0043] The system allows for the setting of a personalized automatic follow-up start time after stopping and following another vehicle. The automatic follow-up start time supports different settings, ranging from a first preset automatic follow-up start time to a second preset automatic follow-up start time.

[0044] In one embodiment, the step of performing a gear shifting operation via the lever or button when the shifting conditions are met includes:

[0045] After the vehicle is parked and the ADSA function is deactivated, the first preset gear can be engaged by pressing the button.

[0046] Engage the second preset gear by moving the lever upwards;

[0047] If the angle at which the lever is moved downward is less than the preset angle, then the third preset gear is engaged.

[0048] If the angle at which the lever is moved downwards is greater than the preset angle but less than the second preset angle, then the fourth preset gear is engaged.

[0049] Furthermore, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes an intelligent driving function interaction device, which includes:

[0050] The function acquisition module is used to trigger the display of the function selection menu via the end button during driving, when the vehicle speed meets the requirements for activating the ADAS function. The displayed content includes ADAS functions arranged in a certain order.

[0051] The function selection module is used to respond to the first operation of the end button, determine the target ADAS function, and activate it;

[0052] The vehicle speed setting module is used to respond to a second operation of the end button when the target ADAS function is activated, and set the target vehicle speed through the end button;

[0053] The vehicle speed adjustment module is used to adjust the target vehicle speed in response to the operation of the knob when the target ADAS function is activated;

[0054] The time distance adjustment module is used to respond to the lever operation and adjust the time distance according to the lever operation, provided that the time distance between vehicles is required.

[0055] The function shortcut module is used to quickly access the corresponding ADAS function by using different fingerprint information when fingerprint information is recognized by the fingerprint recognition sensor.

[0056] The gear shifting module is used to perform gear shifting operations via the lever or button when the shifting conditions are met.

[0057] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes a lever device, the device comprising: a button and a knob, the button being disposed at the end of the lever, the knob being disposed on the outer periphery of the lever, and the button integrating a fingerprint recognition sensor;

[0058] The button is used to trigger the display of the function selection menu during driving, when the vehicle speed meets the requirements for activating the ADAS function. The displayed content includes ADAS functions arranged in a certain order.

[0059] The button is also used to identify and activate the target ADAS function;

[0060] The button is also used to set a target vehicle speed when the target ADAS function is activated;

[0061] The button is also used to perform a gear shifting operation when the shifting conditions are met;

[0062] The knob is used to adjust the target vehicle speed when the target ADAS function is activated;

[0063] The knob is also used to perform a gear shifting operation when the shifting conditions are met;

[0064] The fingerprint recognition sensor is used to identify different fingerprint information to quickly access the corresponding ADAS function;

[0065] The lever is used to adjust the time distance while allowing for time distance adjustments between vehicles.

[0066] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes a storage medium, which is a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements the steps of the intelligent driving function interaction method described above.

[0067] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, this application also provides a computer program product, which includes a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the intelligent driving function interaction method described above.

[0068] One or more technical solutions proposed in this application have at least the following technical effects:

[0069] During driving, when the vehicle speed meets the requirements for activating ADAS functions, the display of the function selection menu is triggered by the end button, which includes ADAS functions arranged in a certain order. Responding to a first operation of the end button, the target ADAS function is identified and activated. With the target ADAS function activated, responding to a second operation of the end button, the target vehicle speed is set via the end button. With the target ADAS function activated, responding to the operation of the knob, the target vehicle speed is adjusted via the knob. When the time difference between vehicles needs to be adjusted, responding to the operation of the lever, the time difference is adjusted according to the lever operation. When fingerprint information is recognized by the fingerprint sensor, the corresponding ADAS function is quickly accessed based on different fingerprint information. When the shifting conditions are met, the shifting operation is performed via the lever or button. This application significantly reduces development costs, optimizes the user experience, and reduces the driver's learning cost by highly integrating the intelligent driving button switch with the shift lever, making advanced driver assistance systems more user-friendly and human-centered.

[0077] The purpose, features, and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0078] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0079] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0080] The main solution of this application embodiment is as follows: During driving, when the vehicle speed meets the requirements for activating the ADAS function, the display of the function selection menu is triggered by the end button, and the displayed content includes ADAS functions arranged in a certain order; responding to the first operation of the end button, the target ADAS function is determined and activated; when the target ADAS function is activated, responding to the second operation of the end button, the target vehicle speed is set by the end button; when the target ADAS function is activated, responding to the operation of the knob, the target vehicle speed is adjusted by the knob; when the time distance between vehicles is adjusted, responding to the operation of the lever, the time distance is adjusted according to the operation of the lever; when fingerprint information is recognized by the fingerprint recognition sensor, the corresponding ADAS function is quickly accessed by different fingerprint information; when the shifting conditions are met, the shifting operation is performed by the lever or button.

[0081] Currently, the selection of intelligent driving functions is mainly achieved by defining the switches, speed adjustment, and time-distance adjustment related to ADAS functions through different buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. However, most of these switch schemes are cumbersome to use, requiring users to continuously learn and become familiar with them, and are prone to errors when driving at high speeds.

[0082] Therefore, to address the aforementioned shortcomings, this embodiment provides an intelligent driving function interaction method. The method is applied to a lever device with a knob and an end button. The end button integrates a fingerprint recognition sensor. The method includes: during driving, when the vehicle speed meets the requirements for activating ADAS functions, triggering the display of a function selection menu via the end button, the displayed content including ADAS functions arranged in a certain order; responding to a first operation of the end button, identifying and activating a target ADAS function; when the target ADAS function is activated, responding to a second operation of the end button, setting a target vehicle speed via the end button; when the target ADAS function is activated, responding to an operation of the knob, adjusting the target vehicle speed via the knob; when the time distance between vehicles needs adjustment, responding to a lever operation, adjusting the time distance according to the lever operation; when fingerprint information is recognized by the fingerprint recognition sensor, quickly accessing the corresponding ADAS function using different fingerprint information; and when shifting conditions are met, performing a shifting operation via the lever or button. Because this embodiment integrates the intelligent driving button switch with the gear shift lever, it greatly reduces development costs, optimizes the user experience, reduces the learning cost for drivers, and makes advanced driver assistance systems more user-friendly and human-centered.

[0083] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an electronic device or toggle device capable of performing the above functions. The following description uses a toggle device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

[0084] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide an intelligent driving function interaction method, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the intelligent driving function interaction method of this application.

[0085] In this embodiment, the intelligent driving function interaction method includes steps S10 to S70:

[0086] Step S10: During driving, when the vehicle speed meets the requirements for activating the ADAS function, the display of the function selection menu is triggered by the end button. The displayed content includes ADAS functions arranged in a certain order.

[0087] It should be noted that Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) functions may include Intelligent Cruise Assist (ICA), Navigation on Autopilot (NOA), and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and the function selection menu may include activating ICA, activating NOA, and activating ACC.

[0088] Specifically, you can first determine if your vehicle's current speed exceeds a preset speed threshold. For example, if your vehicle's current speed exceeds 1 kph (the preset speed threshold), you can press the end button to bring up the function selection menu on the instrument panel. After bringing up the menu, the currently selected function will be highlighted. The location of the end button is shown in the image below. Figure 2 As shown, the content displayed in the function selection menu is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes ICA function, NOA function and ACC function. This embodiment does not specifically limit the implementation of step S10.

[0089] Understandably, step S10 is necessary to activate ADAS functions, thereby improving driving safety, reducing driving burden, and providing greater driving convenience while ensuring vehicle speed.

[0090] Step S20: In response to the first operation of the end button, determine the target ADAS function and activate it;

[0091] It should be noted that the first operation can be such as pressing the end button once, and the target ADAS function can be the selected ADAS function.

[0092] Understandably, using the end button to determine the target ADAS function simplifies the process of determining the ADAS function.

[0093] In one feasible implementation, within a first preset time interval after calling up the function selection menu, the ADAS function is selected by pressing the button again; if no pressing of the end button is detected within a second time interval after selecting the function, the selected ADAS function is activated.

[0094] For example, the ICA function is currently highlighted in the function menu. If the end button is pressed again within 1 second (first preset time interval) of calling up the function menu, the next NOA function will be selected to the right. When the ACC function on the far right is selected, the ICA function in the first position will be selected again. After the NOA function is selected for 3 seconds (second time threshold), the function selection menu will disappear. At the same time, it is recognized that the NOA function (target ADAS function) has been selected, and the function will be activated once.

[0095] Understandably, by setting different driving distance thresholds and different button operations at the end of the device, the efficiency of switching and selecting ADAS functions is improved.

[0096] The above is only one feasible implementation of step S20 provided in this embodiment. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific implementation of step S20.

[0097] Step S30: When the target ADAS function is activated, respond to the second operation of the end button and set the target vehicle speed through the end button;

[0098] It should be noted that the second operation can be similar to pressing and holding the end button for a period of time, and the target speed can be the speed that the vehicle needs to reach when the ADAS function is activated.

[0099] Understandably, setting the target speed via the end button provides a simple way to do so.

[0100] In one feasible implementation, step S30 may include setting the road speed limit to the target vehicle speed by continuously pressing the end button for a fixed time when the target ADAS function is activated; when the target ADAS function is activated, if it is detected that the accelerator is pressed and the button is pressed for a period of time exceeding the fixed time, then the current vehicle speed is set to the target vehicle speed.

[0101] It should be noted that road speed limits can be obtained by recognizing road signs using cameras or through navigation systems.

[0102] For example, when the ADAS function is activated, if the end button is pressed continuously for more than 3 seconds (a fixed time), and the camera recognizes a road sign with a speed limit of 120 km / h (road speed limit), then 120 km / h will be used as the target speed; or, if the current road speed limit is obtained through navigation and is 60 km / h, then 60 km / h will be used as the target speed; or, if the driver presses the button for more than 3 seconds while pressing the accelerator pedal and the current speed is 72 km / h, then 72 km / h will be set as the target speed.

[0103] Understandably, since it is necessary to set an appropriate vehicle speed when the ADAS function is activated, step S10 combines button operation and road conditions to set the target vehicle speed with one click, providing a simple operation method.

[0104] The above is only one feasible implementation of step S30 provided in this embodiment. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific implementation of step S30.

[0105] Step S40: When the target ADAS function is activated, respond to the operation of the knob and adjust the target vehicle speed by rotating the knob;

[0106] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, the knob can be operated in two directions: up and down.

[0107] Understandably, rotating the knob up or down increases the flexibility of adjusting the target vehicle speed.

[0108] In one feasible implementation, step S40 may include acquiring a first preset target vehicle speed variable value and a second preset target vehicle speed variable value; after the ADAS function is activated, acquiring the default position of the knob; if it is detected that the knob returns to the default position after being rotated upwards, then the first preset target vehicle speed variable value is added to the target vehicle speed; if it is detected that the knob returns to the default position after being rotated downwards, then the first preset target vehicle speed variable value is deducted from the target vehicle speed; if it is detected that the knob remains rotated upwards, then the second preset target vehicle speed variable value is added to the target vehicle speed according to a preset period; if it is detected that the knob remains rotated downwards, then the second preset target vehicle speed variable value is deducted from the target vehicle speed according to a preset period.

[0109] It should be noted that the first preset target vehicle speed variable value, the second preset target vehicle speed variable value, and the preset period can be any real number.

[0110] For example, after the ADAS function is activated, such as Figure 2 Rotating the knob upwards and then releasing it will increase the target vehicle speed by 5 kph (the first preset target vehicle speed variable value). Rotating the knob downwards and then releasing it will decrease the target vehicle speed by 5 kph. If you continue to rotate the knob upwards or downwards and keep it in a fixed position, the target vehicle speed will continuously increase or decrease by 10 kph (the second preset target vehicle speed variable value) every 2 seconds (preset cycle). Once the target cruising speed is reached, you can release the knob. After releasing the knob, it will automatically reset.

[0111] Understandably, by setting four different rotary knobs, the method of setting the target vehicle speed is avoided, thus improving the flexibility of adjusting the target vehicle speed.

[0112] The above is only one feasible implementation of step S40 provided in this embodiment. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific implementation of step S40.

[0113] Step S50: If the time distance between vehicles is adjusted, respond to the lever operation and adjust the time distance according to the lever operation;

[0114] It should be noted that the following distance can be the minimum following distance between the vehicle in front and the vehicle itself.

[0115] For example, when the vehicle is stationary, the driver can adjust the time interval by moving the lever upward once and downward once. The time interval can be one of four intervals, including 1m, 1.5m, 2m and 2.5m. This embodiment does not constitute a specific limitation on step S50.

[0116] Understandably, setting the minimum following distance between the vehicle in front and the vehicle itself via the lever ensures driving safety.

[0117] Step S60: When fingerprint information is recognized by the fingerprint recognition sensor, the corresponding ADAS function can be quickly accessed by different fingerprint information.

[0118] It should be noted that fingerprint information can be specific patterns and features extracted from the surface of a person's finger.

[0119] Understandably, accessing the corresponding ADAS function by matching fingerprint information can facilitate switching ADAS functions.

[0120] In one feasible implementation, step S60 may include: pre-recording multiple fingerprint information through the fingerprint recognition sensor; selecting the fingerprint information and binding it to different ADAS functions for quick access; acquiring the fingerprint information to be matched through the fingerprint recognition sensor; if the fingerprint information to be matched fails to match the fingerprint information, then the above steps are performed; if the fingerprint information to be matched successfully matches the fingerprint information, then a message indicating successful recognition is displayed; if it is detected that the end button is pressed continuously a fixed number of times within a third preset time interval, then the fingerprint information to be matched quickly accesses the corresponding ADAS function; if it is not detected that the end button is pressed continuously a fixed number of times within the third preset time interval, then the fingerprint information to be matched is re-identified.

[0121] It should be noted that quick access to ADAS functions can include activating ICA function at the target vehicle speed, activating NOA function, activating ACC function at the target vehicle speed, and turning on overspeed warning function, etc. The third preset time interval and fixed number of times can be any real number.

[0122] For example, the driver can pre-scan and record the fingerprint information of the five fingers of the same hand. Different fingerprints can be linked to different ADAS functions that can be accessed quickly. The end button integrates a fingerprint recognition sensor. When the driver touches or presses the end button, the system will recognize the driver's fingerprint information. If the recognition fails, the driver can remove the finger and touch the end button again to re-recognize the fingerprint information. If the recognition is successful, the system will remind the driver of the successful recognition through sound or image display. Then, the driver can activate the quick function corresponding to different fingerprints by pressing the end button twice (a fixed number of times) within 2 seconds (a third preset time interval). If no button is pressed within 2 seconds after successful recognition, the recognition is interrupted and the finger needs to be removed and the fingerprint needs to be re-recognized before the operation can be performed.

[0123] This implementation method can also set different ADAS function parameters for different driver styles, and drivers can also personalize ADAS settings and match them via fingerprint:

[0124] ① Set a personalized following distance. The following distance can be set to 2-10 levels, ranging from 1m to 2.5m.

[0125] ② Set a personalized hands-off detection time. The hands-off detection time can be set to 2 to 5 levels, ranging from 10 seconds to 2 minutes.

[0126] ③ Set personalized alarm sounds, allowing drivers to choose different styles of alarm sounds;

[0127] ④ Set a personalized time for automatic follow-and-start after stopping and following another vehicle. The system offers different automatic follow-and-start time settings between 10 seconds and 2 minutes.

[0128] Understandably, combining personalized parameters with other features can improve the accuracy and robustness of fingerprint matching systems.

[0129] The above is only one feasible implementation of step S60 provided in this embodiment. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific implementation of step S60.

[0130] Step S70: If the shifting conditions are met, perform a shifting operation using the lever or button;

[0131] It should be noted that shifting gears can be the process by which the driver or the transmission changes the gear ratio according to driving conditions in cars with manual or automatic transmissions.

[0132] Understandably, combining levers or buttons to switch car gears provides a flexible way to change gears.

[0133] In one feasible implementation, step S70 may include, after the vehicle is in a parked state and the ADSA function is deactivated, engaging a first preset gear by pressing the button; engaging a second preset gear by moving the lever upward; engaging a third preset gear if the angle of moving the lever downward is less than a preset angle; and engaging a fourth preset gear if the angle of moving the lever downward is greater than a preset angle but less than a second preset angle.

[0134] For example, when the vehicle speed is 0 and the brake is applied, pressing the button at the end of the lever will engage P gear (first preset gear); moving the lever upwards will engage R gear (second preset gear); moving the lever downwards at an angle less than 30° (preset angle) will engage N gear (third preset gear); and moving the lever downwards at an angle greater than 30° will engage D gear (fourth preset gear).

[0135] Understandably, using a lever or button to switch car gears provides more direct performance control, allowing the driver to quickly switch gears as needed to obtain optimal power output.

[0136] The above is only one feasible implementation of step S60 provided in this embodiment. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific implementation of step S60.

[0137] This embodiment provides an intelligent driving function interaction method. During driving, when the vehicle speed meets the requirements for activating ADAS functions, the display of a function selection menu is triggered by the terminal button. The displayed content includes ADAS functions arranged in a certain order. Responding to a first operation of the terminal button, a target ADAS function is identified and activated. With the target ADAS function activated, responding to a second operation of the terminal button, a target vehicle speed is set via the terminal button. With the target ADAS function activated, responding to the operation of the knob, the target vehicle speed is adjusted via the knob. When the time distance between vehicles needs to be adjusted, responding to the operation of the lever, the time distance is adjusted according to the lever operation. When fingerprint information is recognized by the fingerprint recognition sensor, the corresponding ADAS function can be quickly accessed based on different fingerprint information. When the shifting conditions are met, a shifting operation is performed via the lever or button. This application significantly reduces development costs, optimizes the user experience, and reduces the driver's learning cost by highly integrating the intelligent driving button switch with the shift lever, making advanced driver assistance systems more user-friendly and human-centered.

Figure 4 , Figure 4A simplified flowchart of an intelligent driving function interaction method is provided, specifically:

[0139] During driving, when the vehicle speed meets the requirements for activating ADAS functions, different ADAS functions can be selected by operating the end button of the lever. By pressing and holding the end button, the road speed limit or the current vehicle speed can be set as the target speed. When the fingerprint information is recognized by the fingerprint recognition sensor, the end button, which integrates the fingerprint sensor, can quickly access different ADAS functions and can set system parameters according to different drivers' driving styles. When the time distance between vehicles can be adjusted, the driver can adjust the target speed using the knob on the lever. When the shifting conditions are met, after parking and the ADAS function is deactivated, the driver can shift the lever or end button to engage different gears.
