Solution Overview

Problem

Current autonomous driving systems face limitations in recognizing and avoiding unrecognizable obstacles and road surfaces, leading to driver anxiety and inconvenience when switching from autonomous to manual control.

Innovation Solution

An interactive autonomous driving system that allows any passenger to input correction information via a touch screen or personal device, using a target mapping device, attribute determination device, and processor to recommend control modes for the autonomous driving controller.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If autonomous driving control is used, then driving convenience is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to sensor limitations in recognizing unrecognizable obstacles and road surfaces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving convenienceVSAvoidautonomous driving reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a passenger interaction interface as an intermediary between the autonomous driving system and the environment. When sensors fail to recognize obstacles or road surfaces, passengers can manually input correction information through the interface, serving as a mediator to supplement sensor limitations and improve system reliability while maintaining autonomous driving convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If manual operation is switched to avoid autonomous driving failure, then reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to driver anxiety and re-operation requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving safetyVSAvoidoperational convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables passengers to self-correct sensor recognition failures through the interaction interface. Instead of requiring full manual takeover by the driver, passengers can independently provide correction information for unrecognizable obstacles or road surfaces, allowing the autonomous system to self-correct and maintain convenience while improving safety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Extent of automation

If only the driver can switch to manual operation, then control authority is maintained, but adaptability deteriorates as other passengers cannot assist in avoiding driving risks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautonomous control authorityVSAvoidpassenger assistance capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction interface is designed to be universally accessible to all passengers in the vehicle, not just the driver. Any passenger can use the interface to input correction information about unrecognizable obstacles or road surfaces, making the system adaptable to different passenger configurations and situations while maintaining autonomous control authority

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

An interactive autonomous driving system for an autonomous driving vehicle may include: a target mapping device that determines whether an obstacle is present in a predetermined range of a target selected by a passenger and outputting obstacle information; a target attribute determination device that determines a target attribute based on the obstacle information and outputs target controllable item information; and a processor that generates control mode recommendation information selectable by the passenger based on the target controllable item information and outputs target attribute information and a selected control mode when control mode selection information is received from the passenger.
