Autonomous driving device
An autonomous driving device includes a first map including a first content and a second content associated with positions respectively, a second map including the first content associated with the position and in which the second content is not a recording target, and a control unit performing the autonomous driving. When the autonomous driving is performed using the first map, the control unit determines information necessary for the autonomous driving using a first method based on the first content and the second content. When the autonomous driving is performed using the second map, the control unit determines the information necessary for the autonomous driving using a method same as the first method based on the first content corresponding to a second position recorded in the second map and information indicating that the second content corresponding to the second position recorded in the second map is not present.
1. An autonomous driving device configured to perform an autonomous driving on a vehicle, comprising:
a first map including a first content and a second content associated with positions respectively;
a second map including the first content associated with the position and in which the second content is not a recorded target;
a map electronic control unit (ECU) including a processor programmed to:
measure a position of the vehicle via communication;
determine a scheduled traveling section in the first map and the second map based on the position of the vehicle; and
select any one of the first map and the second map based on a predetermined condition; and
an autonomous driving ECU including a processor programmed to perform the autonomous driving on the vehicle based on any one of the first map and the second map,
wherein the map ECU selects a map having a larger number of updates of contents included in the scheduled traveling section between the first map and the second map,
wherein the autonomous driving ECU is further programmed to:
perform the autonomous driving on the vehicle using the map selected,
determine information necessary for the autonomous driving on the vehicle using a first method based on the first content and the second content corresponding to a first position recorded in the first map when the autonomous driving is performed using the first map at the first position, and
determine the information necessary for the autonomous driving on the vehicle using a method same as the first method based on the first content corresponding to a second position recorded in the second map and information indicating that the second content corresponding to the second position recorded in the second map is not present, when the autonomous driving is performed using the second map at the second position.
2. A method for performing an autonomous driving on a vehicle based on a first map and a second map, the first map including a first content and a second content associated with positions respectively, the second map including the first content associated with the position and in which the second content is not a recorded target, the method comprising:
measure a position of the vehicle via communication;
determine a scheduled traveling section in the first map and the second map based on the position of the vehicle;
select a map having a larger number of updates of contents included in the scheduled traveling section between the first map and the second map;
perform the autonomous driving on the vehicle using the map selected,
determine information necessary for the autonomous driving on the vehicle using a first method based on the first content and the second content corresponding to a first position recorded in the first map when the autonomous driving is performed using the first map at the first position, and
determine the information necessary for the autonomous driving on the vehicle using a method same as the first method based on the first content corresponding to a second position recorded in the second map and information indicating that the second content corresponding to the second position recorded in the second map is not present, when the autonomous driving is performed using the second map at the second position.
3. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for performing an autonomous driving on a vehicle based on a first map and a second map, the first map including a first content and a second content associated with positions respectively, the second map including the first content associated with the position and in which the second content is not a recorded target, the medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute processing comprising:
measure a position of the vehicle via communication;
determine a scheduled traveling section in the first map and the second map based on the position of the vehicle;
select a map having a larger number of updates of contents included in the scheduled traveling section between the first map and the second map;
perform the autonomous driving on the vehicle using the map selected,
determine information necessary for the autonomous driving on the vehicle using a first method based on the first content and the second content corresponding to a first position recorded in the first map when the autonomous driving is performed using the first map at the first position, and
determine the information necessary for the autonomous driving on the vehicle using a method same as the first method based on the first content corresponding to a second position recorded in the second map and information indicating that the second content corresponding to the second position recorded in the second map is not present, when the autonomous driving is performed using the second map at the second position.
