Abstract

An intelligent driving method comprising: obtaining feature parameters of a vehicle at a current moment and a road attribute of a driving scenario of the vehicle in a preset future time period; comparing the feature parameters at the current moment with feature parameters of a standard scenario in a scenario feature library; comparing the road attribute of the driving scenario of the vehicle in the preset future time period with a road attribute of the standard scenario in the scenario feature library; determining a total similarity of each scenario class to a driving scenario of the vehicle at the current moment based on comparing results; determining, as the driving scenario at the current moment, a first scenario class with a highest total similarity in N scenario classes; and controlling, based on the determining result, the vehicle to perform intelligent driving.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein a designed operation range of the vehicle at the second time does not match a designed operation range corresponding to the first driving scenario class when the system does not receive the second instruction within the preset time, and wherein the display device is further configured to send fault alert information.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the display device is further configured to:

send an operation instruction for indicating driving right release and send a release notification to the driver when the driver has taken over the vehicle; and

send an operation instruction for indicating safe pullover when the driver has not taken over the vehicle.

6. An intelligent driving method, comprising:

obtaining current feature parameters of a vehicle at a current moment and a future road attribute of a future driving scenario of the vehicle in a preset future time period, wherein the current feature parameters comprise structured semantic information, a road attribute, and a traffic status spectrum;

sending scenario class switching failure information and maintaining the current driving status when the current designed operation range matches a designed operation range corresponding to the previous scenario class; and
