摘要

A driver state recognition apparatus that recognizes a state of a driver of a vehicle provided with an autonomous driving system includes a state recognition data acquisition unit that acquires state recognition data of an upper body of the driver, a shoulder detection unit that detects shoulders of the driver using the state recognition data acquired by the state recognition data acquisition unit, and a readiness determination unit that determines whether the driver is in a state of being able to immediately hold the steering wheel of the vehicle during autonomous driving, based on detection information from the shoulder detection unit.
