Abstract:
An autonomous driving device includes a route acquisition unit, a vehicle position determination unit, a stop section estimation unit, an intention confirmation unit, a reward provision unit configured to provide reward for getting off the vehicle in a case where the intention confirmation unit confirms that the occupant has the intention to get off the vehicle, and a traveling controller configured to perform an autonomous driving control and to stop a vehicle before the vehicle arrives at an autonomous driving stop section in a case where the intention confirmation unit confirms that an occupant has the intention to get off the vehicle while the autonomous driving control is being performed.

Claim (Index 6):
An autonomous driving method for performing autonomous driving control that makes a vehicle travel autonomously, the autonomous driving method comprising:\n acquiring a route for a time when the vehicle travels to a destination set in advance under the autonomous driving control; determining whether a position of the vehicle is within an area around the destination including the destination; estimating whether an autonomous driving stop section having a possibility that the autonomous driving control is stopped is present on a route from the position of the vehicle to the destination and estimating a position of the autonomous driving stop section in a case where the position of the vehicle is within the area around the destination; confirming whether an occupant of the vehicle has an intention to get off the vehicle in a case where determination is made that the position of the vehicle is within the area around the destination and estimation is made that the autonomous driving stop section is present between a current position of the vehicle and the destination; providing reward for getting off the vehicle in a case where confirmation is made that the occupant has the intention to get off the vehicle; and stopping the vehicle before the vehicle arrives at the autonomous driving stop section in a case where confirmation is made that the occupant has the intention to get off the vehicle while the autonomous driving control is being performed.
