Claim 0:
1. A vehicle control system for avoiding a collision between a right-turning vehicle and a straight-through vehicle,
wherein a first vehicle retains high-precision map data used to identify a lane in which the first vehicle is traveling, and wherein, when the first vehicle is in an autonomous driving mode and intends to travel in a right turn lane and turn right at an intersection ahead based on the high-precision map data, the first vehicle transmits a right turn notification indicating the intention to turn right, to one or more nearby vehicles using vehicle-to-vehicle communications;
wherein, when there are multiple right turn lanes and the first vehicle intends to travel in a farthest right turn lane and turn right at the intersection ahead, the farthest right turn lane being one of the multiple right turn lanes which is farthest from the center of a road, the first vehicle transmits the right turn notification indicating the intention to turn right from the farthest right turn lane; and
wherein a second vehicle, which is one of the nearby vehicles, retains high-precision map data used to identify a lane in which the second vehicle is traveling, and wherein, when the second vehicle is in an autonomous driving mode and intends to travel straight at the intersection ahead, the second vehicle recognizes the first vehicle in an oncoming lane at the intersection as a right-turning vehicle upon receiving the right turn notification from the first vehicle, and performs a predetermined control for collision avoidance with the right-turning vehicle.
