Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Fail-safe is performed appropriately when an automatic driving ECU has a failure. Provided is an in-vehicle electronic control system including a recognition device that recognizes a situation outside a vehicle, a track calculation unit that calculates a track on which the vehicle travels, a failure diagnosis unit that diagnoses a failure of the track calculation unit, and an output unit that outputs a control signal used to control the vehicle, in which a control signal generated based on a brake control instruction generated by the recognition device and a control signal generated based on a track control instruction generated by the track calculation unit are input to the output unit, and when the failure diagnosis unit diagnoses that the track calculation unit has a failure, the output unit outputs a control signal generated based on the brake control instruction generated by the recognition device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An in-vehicle electronic control system comprising: a plurality of controllers which are configured to recognize a situation outside a vehicle; calculate a track on which the vehicle travels; diagnose a failure associated with the track; and output a control signal used to control the vehicle, wherein a track control instruction generated by a first controller is input to a control unit, a brake control instruction generated by a second contro…
