Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The processor 162 of ECU 160 is configured to determine an action schedule of the vehicle capable of autonomous driving and notify two or more consecutive action schedules to surrounding other vehicles, and is configured to perform at least one of notifying the two or more consecutive action schedules from the vehicle to the outside by display or voice or having the two or more consecutive action schedules notified by display or voice in the surrounding other vehicles.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . An action schedule notification device for a vehicle comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: determine an action schedule of the vehicle of autonomous driving, and notify two or more consecutive action schedules to surrounding other vehicles, by transmitting the two or more consecutive action schedules to surrounding other vehicles in order to display the two or more consecutive action schedules on a display device provided in the surrounding other vehicles or in order to output the two or more consecutive action schedules by sound from a speaker provided in the surrounding other vehicles. 2 . The action schedule notification device according to claim 1 , wherein the two or more continuous action schedule includes, when the vehicle merges into a road having a plurality of lanes, merging into the road and changing a lane from a lane after merging or running a lane after merging as it is. 3 . The action schedule notification device according to claim 1 , wherein the two or more continuous action schedule includes changing a lane toward a lane connected to an exit of a road while the vehicle is traveling in a lane other than a lane connected to the exit of the road having a plurality of lanes and descending from the road at the exit. 4 . The action schedule notification device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine whether or not the vehicle is traveling in an area in which a manually driven vehicle is mixed, and when the vehicle is traveling in an area in which the manually driven vehicle is mixed, the processor is configured to notify the surrounding vehicle of two or more consecutive action schedules. 5 . An action schedule notification method of a vehicle comprises steps of: determining an action schedule of the vehicle capable of autonomous driving, and notifying two or more consecutive action schedules to surrounding other vehicles, wherein the step of notifying includes a step of transmitting the two or more consecutive action schedules to surrounding other vehicles in order to display the two or more consecutive action schedules on a display device provided in the surrounding other vehicles or in order to output the two or more consecutive action schedules by sound from a speaker provided in the surrounding other vehicles.
