APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TO ENABLE AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM IN VEHICLE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling to enable an autonomous system in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor configured to sense information regarding an outside of the vehicle and an inside of the vehicle;
an input device configured to receive an input from a driver of the vehicle;
an output device configured to output a notification in the vehicle; and
a control circuit configured to be electrically connected with the sensor, the input device, and the output device,wherein the control circuit is configured to;
activate an autonomous control in response to the received input;
detect a critical situation of the vehicle by the sensor;
output a notification to transfer a control authority by the output device in response to the detected critical situation; and
automatically reactivate the autonomous control when the critical situation is solved after temporarily releasing the autonomous control, wherein the critical situation corresponds to a critical situation of a specified type.

Abstract
An apparatus for controlling to enable an autonomous system in a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a sensor, an input device configured to receive an input from a driver of the vehicle, an output device configured to output a notification in the vehicle, and a control circuit configured to be electrically connected with the sensor, the input device, and the output device. The control circuit is configured to activate an autonomous control in response to an input of the driver to the input device, detect a critical situation of the vehicle using the sensor, output a notification to transfer a control authority using the output device in response to the detected critical situation, and automatically reactivate the autonomous control when the critical situation is solved after temporarily releasing the autonomous control, when the critical situation corresponds to a critical situation of a specified type.
