Abstract

The automated driving system includes a vehicle speed detection device for detecting a speed of a vehicle, a display device capable of displaying a running lane and an adjacent lane of the vehicle, and a processor configured to control display content of the display device, and execute an autonomous lane change of the vehicle. The processor is configured to prohibit the autonomous lane change of the vehicle when a speed of the vehicle is less than a predetermined value. The processor is configured to hide the adjacent lane when the autonomous lane change is prohibited and start displaying the adjacent lane before the speed of the vehicle reaches the predetermined value if it is planned for the vehicle to accelerate from a speed below the predetermined value to a speed equal to or greater than the predetermined value in order to carry out the autonomous lane change.

Claims (10)

1. A display system of a vehicle comprising:

a display device incorporated into the vehicle, the display device capable of displaying a running lane of the vehicle and an adjacent lane thereof; and

a processor configured to control display content of the display device, wherein the processor is configured to

hide the adjacent lane when an autonomous lane change of the vehicle is prohibited;

wherein the processor is configured to display only the running lane and a destination lane of a lane change when the autonomous lane change is executed if there are adjacent lanes on both sides of the running lane.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display the adjacent lane when the autonomous lane change of the vehicle is permitted.

3. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the autonomous lane change of the vehicle is prohibited when a speed of the vehicle is less than a predetermined value; and

the processor is configured to start displaying the adjacent lane before the speed of the vehicle reaches the predetermined value if it is planned for the vehicle to accelerate from a speed below the predetermined value to a speed equal to or greater than the predetermined value in order to carry out the autonomous lane change.

4. The display system according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to start displaying a destination lane of a lane change among adjacent lanes before the speed of the vehicle reaches the predetermined value if it is planned for the vehicle to accelerate from the speed below the predetermined value to the speed equal to or greater than the predetermined value in order to carry out the autonomous lane change.
