Description

Technical Field

[0002] For L2 autonomous driving, the autonomous driving system or driver assistance system should always provide lateral control to keep the vehicle in its lane. If the system cannot control the vehicle to stay in its lane, the system will issue a warning to the driver and ask the driver to take control.

[0003] However, when an automated driving system or driver assistance system is operating, there may be strong crosswinds, significant road disturbances, sharp curves, or other factors that interfere with lateral control. In these extreme situations, the system may not be able to keep the vehicle in its lane without driver intervention. Especially for "hands-free" driver assistance systems, since the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel, when it is necessary to take over, the driver still needs some time to place their hands on the steering wheel, and some additional time is required to take over the vehicle. If the warning is triggered too late, the driver may not be able to operate the vehicle in time to keep it in its lane, thereby failing to avoid a collision with other vehicles or objects.
