Abstract:
A method for controlling a driving mode of an autonomous driving vehicle, may include comparing a current vehicle speed with a reference vehicle speed when a driving mode change signal is generated during driving of the autonomous driving vehicle in manual driving mode; stopping the manual driving mode and executing autonomous driving mode when a result of the comparing indicates that the current vehicle speed is equal to or slower than the reference vehicle speed; and executing the autonomous driving mode or maintaining the manual driving mode which is a current driving mode, depending on a determination result of whether an APS signal is generated or not, when the result of the comparing indicates that current vehicle speed exceeds the reference vehicle speed.

Claim (Index 11):
An apparatus configured for controlling a driving mode of an autonomous driving vehicle, the apparatus comprising:\n a driving mode button configured to generate a driving mode change signal when the driving mode button is pressed; a speed detector configured to detect vehicle speed information; an accelerator pedal provided with an actuator and an accelerator pedal detector (APS) configured to generate a tactile sensation signal which is one of a vibration signal, a pedal effect signal, and a tick signal; and a driving mode controller configured to generate and transmit either a manual driving mode execution signal or an autonomous driving mode execution signal, based on an operation signal of the driving mode button, the vehicle speed information related to the speed detector, and an APS signal of the accelerator pedal, to a vehicle controller.
