Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The vehicle control system includes a turning signal control unit configured to switch a turning signal of the vehicle between an off state and an on state according to the lane change control. The turning signal control unit maintains the turning signal in the on state until predetermined release conditions are satisfied when the lane change control in process is cancelled and the vehicle is switched to the manual driving mode.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle control system that performs lane change control for changing a lane of a vehicle from a traveling lane to an adjacent lane, cancels the lane change control according to at least one of an operation of a driver of the vehicle, a surrounding environment of the vehicle, and a traveling state of the vehicle during the lane change control, and switches the vehicle to a mode in which the driver manually drives the vehicle, the system comprising: a turning signal control unit configured to switch a turning signal of the vehicle between an off state and an on state according to the lane change control, wherein the turning signal control unit maintains the turning signal in the on state until predetermined release conditions are satisfied when the lane change control in process is cancelled and the vehicle is switched to the manual driving mode. 2. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein, when the vehicle enters the adjacent lane from the traveling lane after the lane change control in process is cancelled and the vehicle is switched to the manual driving mode, the turning signal control unit determines that the release conditions are satisfied and switches the turning signal to the off state. 3. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein, when the predetermined release conditions are satisfied, the turning signal control unit switches the turning signal to the off state.
