Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and a device for controlling autonomous driving of a vehicle, a medium and a system. The method for controlling autonomous driving of a vehicle includes: acquiring an environment sensing result related to an environment around the vehicle, the environment sensing result being based on sensing information collected by at least one sensor arranged in the environment and independent of the vehicle, and the environment sensing result being configured to indicate relevant information of a plurality of objects in the environment; determining an external sensing result of the vehicle by excluding a self-vehicle sensing result corresponding to the vehicle from the environment sensing result; and controlling a driving behavior of the vehicle based at least on the external sensing result.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling the driving behavior of the vehicle further comprises:

acquiring an autonomous driving recommendation, for the vehicle, the autonomous driving recommendation comprising at least one of: a driving path recommendation of the vehicle, a driving direction recommendation of the vehicle, and an operation instruction recommendation for controlling the driving behavior of the vehicle; and

controlling the driving behavior of the vehicle based on the autonomous driving recommendation for the vehicle.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the external sensing result of the vehicle comprises:

identifying identification information related to a label section provided with the vehicle from the environment sensing result;

determining the self-vehicle sensing result corresponding to the vehicle from the environment sensing result based on the identification information; and

excluding the self-vehicle sensing result from the environment sensing result to obtain the external sensing result.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the label section provided with the vehicle comprises at least one of: a license plate of the vehicle, a two-dimensional code affixed to an outside of the vehicle, a non-visible light label affixed to the outside of the vehicle, and a radio frequency label mounted on the vehicle.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the environment sensing result comprises positions of the plurality of objects, and determining the external sensing result of the vehicle comprises:

determining a position of the vehicle;

identifying an object matching the vehicle from the plurality of objects by matching the position of the vehicle with the positions of the plurality of objects; and

excluding a sensing result corresponding to the object matching the vehicle from the environment sensing result to obtain the external sensing result.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a rough position of the vehicle in the environment;

determining, from the environment sensing result, an object corresponding to the vehicle from the plurality of objects based on the rough position; and

determining position information of the object corresponding to the vehicle comprised in the environment sensing result as a fine position of the vehicle in the environment.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein controlling the driving behavior of the vehicle further comprises:
