Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. An autonomous driving vehicle, comprising at least one processor circuitry, arranged to control a lateral position of the autonomous driving vehicle during autonomous driving of the autonomous driving vehicle at least based on a default lateral position of the autonomous driving vehicle, and
at least one user interface, arranged to receive an input indicative of an off-set of the lateral position of the autonomous driving vehicle from a user of the autonomous driving vehicle,
wherein the processor circuitry is arranged to
receive, from the at least one user interface, information regarding the off-set of the lateral position of the autonomous driving vehicle during driving in the lateral position,
calculate a maximum right and a maximum left off-set of the lateral position, wherein the at least one processor circuitry is arranged to continuously set the maximum right and the maximum left off-set of the lateral position at least based on data generated by the autonomous driving vehicle, and wherein the data generated by the autonomous driving vehicle is one or more of a shoulder width, a road curvature, curbs, visibility, a potential threat in the path in the lane or adjacent to the lane, a geographical position, a speed limit of the road, hidden curves, crests hiding oncoming traffic, existence of oncoming traffic and road conditions,
calculate a dynamic off-set value based on the received off-set and the maximum right and the maximum left off-set,
adjust the lateral position of the vehicle based on the off-set information, and
control the lateral position of the autonomous driving vehicle at least based on the dynamic off-set value and the default lateral position of the autonomous driving vehicle,

wherein the user interface is arranged to communicate a geographical position or a driving scenario of the autonomous driving vehicle to a cloud service and receive, from the cloud service, information indicative of an off-set of the lateral position and/or the dynamic off-set value, wherein the off-set information is based on a plurality of drivers desired lateral positions weighed together and/or a plurality of drivers dynamic off-set values weighed together for the given geographical position or the driving scenario and the processor circuitry is arranged to adjust the lateral position of the autonomous driving vehicle during autonomous driving based on a combination of the default lateral position, the off-set of the lateral position, the dynamic off-set value and the off-set information received from the cloud service, and
wherein the processor circuitry is arranged to receive, from the cloud service, an updated default lateral position of the autonomous driving vehicle and to replace the default lateral position with the updated default lateral position.
