METHOD FOR AUTONOMOUS DRIVING START-UP OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
A method of autonomous driving for low-speed or zero-speed maneuvering of a motor vehicle includes modifying the orientation of the steerable wheels of the vehicle while the speed of the vehicle is zero or substantially zero, or less than or equal to a threshold, in particular a threshold equal to 1 km/h.
1 - 10 . (canceled)
11 . A method for autonomous maneuvering driving of a motor vehicle, comprising:
modifying an orientation of steered wheels of the vehicle while a speed of the vehicle is zero or substantially zero or below or equal to a threshold.
12 . The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the threshold is equal to 1 km/h.
13 . A method for autonomous driving of a motor vehicle, comprising:
implementing an autonomous maneuvering driving mode according to the method as claimed in claim 11 ; and
implementing an autonomous cruising driving mode for cruising along a cruise trajectory,
wherein the two autonomous driving modes are exclusive.
14 . The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein
an operating logic for the autonomous maneuvering driving mode and for the autonomous cruising driving mode are different; or
in the autonomous maneuvering driving mode the vehicle is driven or moved at a speed below 10 km/h.
15 . The method as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising:
defining a reference cruise trajectory, and
defining, iteratively and/or by simulation, a maneuvering trajectory to meet the reference cruise trajectory from an initial position of the vehicle.
16 . The method as claimed in claim 15 , further comprising:
validating the maneuvering trajectory with respect to at least one of:
physical maneuvering capabilities of the vehicle, and
safety of assets and/or individuals in the vehicle and/or in a vicinity of the vehicle.
17 . The method as claimed in claim 15 , further comprising:
determining or measuring a current position of the vehicle;
comparing the current position of the vehicle and positions that make up the reference trajectory; and
automatically switching over from the autonomous maneuvering driving mode to the autonomous cruising driving mode when the current position of the vehicle corresponds to one of the positions that make up the reference trajectory.
18 . A system for the autonomous driving of a motor vehicle, the system comprising hardware and software elements that are configured to implement the method as claimed in claim 11 .
19 . A motor vehicle, comprising hardware and software elements that are configured to implement the method as claimed in claim 11 .
20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to execute the method as claimed in claim 11 .
