STOP INTENTION DETERMINATION APPARATUS AND STOP INTENTION DETERMINATION METHOD

摘要

A stop intention determination apparatus is mounted in a vehicle provided with an autonomous driving mode and determines an intention of a driver to stop the vehicle during driving in the autonomous driving mode. The stop intention determination apparatus includes: an input signal acquiring portion configured to acquire an input signal from a hazard lamp switch during driving in the autonomous driving mode; a stop intention determining portion configured to determine the intention of the driver to stop the vehicle based on the acquired input signal; and a signal output portion configured to output a signal for giving an instruction to stop the vehicle through autonomous driving to an autonomous driving control apparatus, if it is determined by the stop intention determining portion that the input signal is a signal indicating the intention of the driver to stop the vehicle.
