Abstract

A method and apparatus for controlling an autonomous vehicle. The method may include: acquiring vehicle traveling environment information; determining an intended traveling state of the autonomous vehicle based on the vehicle traveling environment information; and in response to detecting an interactive operation of a target user for the intended traveling state, generating a traveling state adjustment instruction corresponding to the interactive operation to control the autonomous vehicle to adjust a traveling state.

Claims (49)

1 . A control method for an autonomous vehicle, comprising:

acquiring vehicle traveling environment information;

determining an intended traveling state of the autonomous vehicle based on the vehicle traveling environment information; and

in response to detecting an interactive operation of a target user for the intended traveling state, generating a traveling state adjustment instruction corresponding to the interactive operation to control the autonomous vehicle to adjust a traveling state.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

controlling the autonomous vehicle to adjust the traveling state according to environment sensing information in response to receiving the environment sensing information transmitted by an external device in communication connection with the autonomous vehicle.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:

presenting, on a preset terminal display screen, at least one of: the vehicle traveling environment information, the intended traveling state, or the environment sensing information.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a vehicle traveling route information set sent by a communicatively connected cloud server; and

selecting the vehicle traveling route information from the vehicle traveling route information set to control the autonomous vehicle to travel along a road indicated by the selected vehicle traveling route information.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

presenting obstacle information for describing an obstacle in response to determining that the obstacle is present on a road on which the autonomous vehicle is traveling; and

generating an obstacle elimination instruction corresponding to the obstacle confirmation operation in response to detecting an obstacle confirmation operation of the target user for the obstacle information, to control the autonomous vehicle to adjust the traveling state.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle traveling environment information comprises at least one of: vehicle position information, environment image information, in-vehicle equipment on-off information, or in-vehicle equipment energy consumption information.

7 . A controller, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a storage apparatus storing 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 perform operations, the operations comprising:

acquiring vehicle traveling environment information;

determining an intended traveling state of the autonomous vehicle based on the vehicle traveling environment information; and

in response to detecting an interactive operation of a target user for the intended traveling state, generating a traveling state adjustment instruction corresponding to the interactive operation to control the autonomous vehicle to adjust a traveling state.

8 . The controller of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:

controlling the autonomous vehicle to adjust the traveling state according to environment sensing information in response to receiving the environment sensing information transmitted by an external device in communication connection with the autonomous vehicle.

9 . The controller of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

presenting, on a preset terminal display screen, at least one of: the vehicle traveling environment information, the intended traveling state, or the environment sensing information.

10 . The controller of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a vehicle traveling route information set sent by a communicatively connected cloud server; and

selecting the vehicle traveling route information from the vehicle traveling route information set to control the autonomous vehicle to travel along a road indicated by the selected vehicle traveling route information.

11 . The controller of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:

presenting obstacle information for describing an obstacle in response to determining that the obstacle is present on a road on which the autonomous vehicle is traveling; and

generating an obstacle elimination instruction corresponding to the obstacle confirmation operation in response to detecting an obstacle confirmation operation of the target user for the obstacle information, to control the autonomous vehicle to adjust the traveling state.

12 . The controller of claim 7 , wherein the vehicle traveling environment information comprises at least one of: vehicle position information, environment image information, in-vehicle equipment on-off information, or in-vehicle equipment energy consumption information.

13 . An autonomous vehicle, comprising the controller of claim 7 .

14 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing computer programs thereon, wherein the computer programs, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

acquiring vehicle traveling environment information;

determining an intended traveling state of the autonomous vehicle based on the vehicle traveling environment information; and

in response to detecting an interactive operation of a target user for the intended traveling state, generating a traveling state adjustment instruction corresponding to the interactive operation to control the autonomous vehicle to adjust a traveling state.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:

controlling the autonomous vehicle to adjust the traveling state according to environment sensing information in response to receiving the environment sensing information transmitted by an external device in communication connection with the autonomous vehicle.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

presenting, on a preset terminal display screen, at least one of: the vehicle traveling environment information, the intended traveling state, or the environment sensing information.

17 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a vehicle traveling route information set sent by a communicatively connected cloud server; and

selecting the vehicle traveling route information from the vehicle traveling route information set to control the autonomous vehicle to travel along a road indicated by the selected vehicle traveling route information.

18 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:

presenting obstacle information for describing an obstacle in response to determining that the obstacle is present on a road on which the autonomous vehicle is traveling; and

generating an obstacle elimination instruction corresponding to the obstacle confirmation operation in response to detecting an obstacle confirmation operation of the target user for the obstacle information, to control the autonomous vehicle to adjust the traveling state.

19 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the vehicle traveling environment information comprises at least one of: vehicle position information, environment image information, in-vehicle equipment on-off information, or in-vehicle equipment energy consumption information.
