Vehicle external notification device
The vehicle external notification device includes a notification unit that gives notice of the information to the outside of the vehicle, a proposal action determination unit that determines an action to be proposed to the pedestrian, a notification control unit that causes the notification unit to notify the pedestrian of information on the action to be proposed to the pedestrian, an action detection unit that detects an action of the pedestrian, and an action determination unit that determines whether or not the action of the pedestrian which is detected by the action detection unit is the action proposed to the pedestrian. The notification control unit causes the notification unit to notify the pedestrian of information indicating that the action of the pedestrian is the proposed action, when the action determination unit determines that the action of the pedestrian is the action proposed to the pedestrian.
1. A vehicle external notification device that notifies a moving object, which is provided in a vicinity of a host vehicle during automatic driving, of information, the vehicle external notification device comprising:
a notification unit configured to give notice of the information to an outside of the vehicle during automatic driving of the vehicle;
a moving object detection unit configured to detect the moving object located outside of the vehicle during automatic driving of the vehicle;
a proposal action determination unit configured to determine a proposed action for the moving object detected by the moving object detection unit;
a notification control unit configured to cause, during automatic driving of the vehicle, the notification unit to notify the moving object that is located outside of the vehicle, which is detected by the moving object detection unit, of information on the proposed action to the moving object;
an action detection unit configured to detect an action of the moving object detected by the moving object detection unit after the notification unit has notified the moving object of the information on the proposed action; and
an action determination unit configured to determine whether or not the action of the moving object which is detected by the action detection unit is the proposed action that was notified to the moving object by the notification unit,
wherein, based upon a determination that the action of the moving object is the proposed action, the notification control unit causes the notification unit to notify the moving object of information indicating that the action of the moving object is the proposed action.
2. The vehicle external notification device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the notification control unit causes the notification unit to notify the moving object, which is detected by the moving object detection unit, of the information on the action to be proposed to the moving object in a first mode, and then causes the notification unit to notify the moving object of the information on the action to be proposed to the moving object in a second mode emphasized more than the first mode, when the action determination unit determines that the action of the moving object is not the action proposed to the moving object.
3. The vehicle external notification device according to claim 1 , further comprising a positioning unit, wherein a future action of the moving object is predicted on the basis of positional information of the vehicle on a map which is measured by the positioning unit.
4. The vehicle external notification device according to claim 1 , wherein a future action of the moving object is predicted on the basis of a traveling plan of the host vehicle that was generated by an automatic driving control unit.
5. The vehicle external notification device according to claim 1 , wherein the proposal action determination unit determines an action to be proposed to the moving object so that the moving object can execute the predicted action.
6. A vehicle external notification device that notifies a moving object, which is provided in a vicinity of a host vehicle outside of the host vehicle during automatic driving of the host vehicle, of information, the vehicle external notification device comprising:
detectors outside of the vehicle configured to detect the moving object during automatic driving of the host vehicle; and
one or more processors programmed to:
notify the information to the moving object located at an outside of the host vehicle during automatic driving of the host vehicle;
determine a proposed action, which is an action proposed for the moving object to execute;
notify the moving object, which has been detected outside of the host vehicle, of the proposed action;
detect, during automatic driving of the host vehicle, an action of the moving object after notifying the moving object of the proposed action; and
determine, during automatic driving of the host vehicle, whether the action of the moving object is same as the proposed action, and
when the action of the moving object is the same as the proposed action, notify the moving object that the action of the moving object is the same as the proposed action.
