Abstract

A method for controlling a driverless vehicle is provided. The method includes: establishing a connection with a handheld control device; upon receiving a switching instruction of entering a handheld control from the handheld control device, stopping an automatic control of the driverless vehicle; and upon receiving a vehicle control instruction from the handheld control device, performing an operation corresponding to the vehicle control instruction on the driverless vehicle. The handheld control device is adopted to control the driverless vehicle, so that an operation can be performed when the driverless vehicle cannot travel automatically or a sensing module fails, thereby improving the convenience and safety of the user's operation.

Claims (36)

1 . A method for controlling a driverless vehicle, comprising:

establishing a connection with a handheld control device;

upon receiving a switching instruction of entering a handheld control from the handheld control device, stopping an automatic control of the driverless vehicle; and

upon receiving a vehicle control instruction from the handheld control device, performing an operation corresponding to the vehicle control instruction on the driverless vehicle.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

when a speed of the driverless vehicle is detected to be greater than a set threshold, prohibiting responding to operation instructions of shifting, parking and door opening from the handheld control device.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: upon receiving a switching instruction of entering or exiting a handheld control, controlling the driverless vehicle to perform an automatic parking operation.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: in a control mode of the handheld control device, if an operation signal has not been received from the handheld control device within a set period, controlling the driverless vehicle to perform a braking operation.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: upon detecting a disconnection with the handheld control device, controlling the driverless vehicle to perform a stopping operation.

6 . An apparatus for controlling a driverless vehicle, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a storage device configured to store one or more programs, wherein

the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

establish a connection with a handheld control device; and

upon receiving a switching instruction of entering a handheld control from the handheld control device, stop an automatic control of the driverless vehicle; and

upon receiving a vehicle control instruction from the handheld control device, perform an operation corresponding to the vehicle control instruction on the driverless vehicle.

7 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors further to:

when a speed of the driverless vehicle is detected to be greater than a set threshold, prohibit responding to operation instructions of shifting, parking and door opening from the handheld control device.

8 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors further to:

upon receiving a switching instruction of entering or exiting a handheld control, control the driverless vehicle to perform an automatic parking operation.

9 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors further to:

in a control mode of the handheld control device, if an operation signal has not been received from the handheld control device within a set period, control the driverless vehicle to perform a braking operation.

10 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors further to:

upon detecting a disconnection with the handheld control device, control the driverless vehicle to perform a stopping operation.

11 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage mediwn comprising computer executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

establish a connection with a handheld control device; and

upon receiving a switching instruction of entering a. handheld control from the handheld control device, stop an automatic control of the driverless vehicle; and

upon receiving a vehicle control instruction from the handheld control device, perform an operation corresponding to the vehicle control instruction on the driverless vehicle.

12 . The non-volatile computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor further to:

when a speed of the driverless vehicle is detected to be greater than a set threshold, prohibit responding to operation instructions of shifting, parking and door opening from the handheld control device.

13 . The non-volatile computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor further to:

upon receiving a switching instruction of entering or exiting a handheld control, control the driverless vehicle to perform an automatic parking operation.

14 . The non-volatile computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor further to:

in a control mode of the handheld control device, if an operation signal has not been received from the handheld control device within a set period, control the driverless vehicle to perform a braking operation.

15 . The non-volatile computer-readable storage meditun according to claim 11 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor further to:

upon detecting a disconnection with the handheld control device, control the driverless vehicle to perform a stopping operation.
