Abstract

The vehicle of the present disclosure stores autonomous driving data generated during execution of autonomous driving and switch a storage mode according to an available capacity of a storage area for storing the autonomous driving data. The storage mode includes an all-storage mode and a partial-storage mode. The all-storage mode is a mode that is selected when the available capacity of the storage area is equal to or larger than a threshold value, and is a mode for storing all of the autonomous driving data. The partial-storage mode is a mode that is selected when the available capacity of the storage area is less than the threshold value, and is a mode for storing only a part of the autonomous driving data. The part of the autonomous driving data stored in the partial-storage mode includes data for reproducing autonomous driving.

Claims (19)

1 . A vehicle travelable by autonomous driving, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory storing a plurality of instructions executable by the at least one processor,

wherein the plurality of instructions is configured to cause the at least one processor to:

store autonomous driving data generated during execution of the autonomous driving, and

switch a storage mode according to an available capacity of a storage area for storing the autonomous driving data,

the storage mode including:

an all-storage mode for recording all of the autonomous driving data, the all-storage mode being selected when the available capacity is equal to or greater than a threshold value, and

a partial-storage mode for recording only a part of the autonomous driving data, the partial-storage mode being selected when the available capacity is less than the threshold value,

the part of the autonomous driving data including data for reproducing the autonomous driving.

2 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

all of a manual driving data includes all of input data input to a machine learning model for the autonomous driving, intermediate calculation data obtained in calculation processing by the machine learning model, and control data for vehicle control executed based on an output of the machine learning model, and

the part of the autonomous driving data includes at least one of the input data and the control data.

3 . The vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein

the part of the autonomous driving data includes only the control data or only the input data.

4 . The vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein

the part of the autonomous driving data does not include only the intermediate calculation data.

5 . The vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein

the part of the autonomous driving data is data having a smaller data amount among the input data and the control data.
