Patent ID: 11970186
Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATION
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B

Claim 0:
1. An automotive arithmetic system mounted on a motor vehicle, the automotive arithmetic system comprising:
circuitry configured to
estimate a vehicle external environment including a road and an obstacle using deep learning based on an output from a vehicle external information acquisition device that acquires information of the vehicle external environment,
generate a travel route of the motor vehicle based on the estimated vehicle external environment,
estimate the presence of the road and the obstacle based on the output from the vehicle external information acquisition device according to a predetermined rule without using deep learning,
generate a rule-based travel route in a free space on the road where no obstacle is present,
generate a safe route, which is a travel route that the motor vehicle takes until the motor vehicle stops at a safe stop position that satisfies a preset criterion, based on the output from the vehicle external information acquisition device without using deep learning,
prioritize one of the travel route, the rule-based travel route, or the safe route,
determine a target motion of the motor vehicle so that the motor vehicle travels on the prioritized route, and
execute an arithmetic operation to generate the travel route, an arithmetic operation to generate the rule-based travel route, and an arithmetic operation to generate the safe route independently of each other.
