Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Autonomous vehicles have limited capabilities and may be activated in scenarios beyond their operational range, leading to safety risks if users are unaware of these limitations.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for autonomous driving determination that compares the driving scenario information with the vehicle's capabilities, determining suitability for autonomous mode and either activating or prohibiting it based on the comparison, and reminding users to switch to manual mode when not suitable.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If autonomous driving mode is activated without capability verification, then ease of operation is improved, but safety deteriorates due to activation in unsuitable scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of driving scenario information against autonomous driving capabilities before activating autonomous driving mode. This preliminary check ensures that the vehicle only enters autonomous mode when conditions are suitable, preventing unsafe activations while maintaining ease of operation for legitimate use cases.
2Adaptability or versatility
If autonomous driving capability range is expanded, then adaptability is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to limited capability and potential unsafe scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors driving scenario information and compares it against defined capability ranges. When the current scenario falls outside the safe operating envelope, the system provides feedback by prohibiting autonomous mode activation or reminding occupants to switch to manual mode. This feedback mechanism allows the system to be adaptable to various scenarios while maintaining safety by restricting operation to proven capable conditions.
