Abstract:
1. An autonomous driving method performed by an autonomous driver assistance system mounted in a vehicle, the method comprising steps of: generating a planned route to a destination; performing road detection of the planned route to obtain roadway information in front of the vehicle including an image of lane markings, a distance to a vehicle ahead, a signal of direction indicators of the vehicle ahead, and a collision alert; performing positioning detection to obtain an actual position of the vehicle compared with the planned route to determine if a driving route of the vehicle matches the planned route; integrating driving safety of the vehicle to detect and determine a driving condition of a driver of the vehicle and actively control a travelling condition of the vehicle upon autonomous driving; and performing the autonomous driving to determine if the image of the lane markings has lane markings, if the lane markings are available, controlling the vehicle to drive along the lane markings to the destination by the autonomous driving according to the steps of generating the planned route and performing road detection of the planned route, if the lane markings are not available, detecting if the vehicle ahead is driving along the same planned route, and if determining that the vehicle ahead follows the same planned route, combining the autonomous driving and the positioning detection to drive the vehicle and follow the vehicle ahead to the destination.
