Claim:
1. An autonomous driving device comprising: a control unit configured to control switching between manual driving and autonomous driving of a vehicle; and a detection unit configured to detect a driving operation by a driver of the vehicle, wherein when a driving operation value of the driving operation is less than or equal to a manual driving switching threshold value during autonomous driving, the control unit continues to perform autonomous driving, wherein when the driving operation value of the driving operation exceeds the manual driving switching threshold value during autonomous driving, the control unit switches autonomous driving to manual driving, and wherein when autonomous driving is switched to manual driving due to the driving operation value exceeding the manual driving switching threshold value, and a driving operation time from when the driving operation value exceeds a timing start threshold value to when the driving operation value is less than or equal to an autonomous driving switching threshold value is less than or equal to an operation time threshold value, the control unit switches manual driving to autonomous driving, and wherein the operation time threshold value is changed depending on a traveling status of the vehicle and the timing start threshold value is changed depending on the traveling status of the vehicle.
