The road infrastructure device 102 provides information for autonomous driving by performing communication with vehicles running on the road.

When receiving an autonomous driving request from a user, the autonomous driving state notification device 200 determines the current vehicle communication state of the vehicle, the road state of the road on which the vehicle is or is to be driven, the current time, weather conditions, etc., and communicates with the vehicle. Autonomous driving control is performed based on conditions, road conditions, current time, and weather conditions, and changes in at least one of vehicle communication conditions, road conditions, current time, and weather conditions are checked to determine vehicle communication conditions, road conditions, and current time. , When at least one change in weather conditions occurs, a graphic notification is provided through a display device or a voice notification is provided so that the user can detect it. Accordingly, the self-driving state notification device 200 notifies the user that the autonomous driving function may be restricted according to a change in at least one of vehicle communication status, road status, current time, and weather condition, so that the user can cope with the self-driving function limitation. can make it possible

When the vehicle communication state is in a 5G communication available state, autonomous driving is achieved by linking vehicle-led autonomous driving and vehicle communication (V2X: Vehicle to Everything) using the vehicle's sensors, cameras, and built-in map data regardless of the road conditions Autonomous driving state notification device, characterized in that for controlling to perform. When an autonomous driving request is received, the current vehicle communication state, road state, time information, and weather state of the vehicle are determined using information received from the outside or stored in the vehicle, and the vehicle communication state, the road state, and the time an autonomous driving state notification device that performs autonomous driving control based on information and the weather conditions, and outputs a notification when changes in the vehicle communication state, the road state, the time information, and the weather state are detected; and
A display device outputting the notification under the control of the autonomous driving state notification device
A system for performing autonomous driving status notification including a. The method of claim 11,
a navigation device that provides map information and a route to a destination;
A system for performing autonomous driving status notification further comprising. The method of claim 12,
The autonomous driving state notification device,
When the autonomous driving request is received, a system for performing autonomous driving state notification, characterized in that for displaying an expected autonomous driving state on a driving route to a set destination and displaying the autonomous driving state on the navigation device. The method of claim 12,
The autonomous driving state notification device,
When the autonomous driving request is received and the destination is not set, performing autonomous driving state notification characterized in that control to display and output an expected state of autonomous driving for each zone on the map including the current location on the navigation device system to do. According to claim 13 or 14,
The autonomous driving state notification device,
In order to display the expected autonomous driving state, autonomous driving function steps according to the vehicle communication state and the road state are classified and displayed using at least one of color, hatching, and line thickness. A system that does status notifications. performing communication with a surrounding communication medium while the vehicle is driving;
When an autonomous driving request is received, determining a current vehicle communication state, road state, time information, and weather state of the vehicle using a result of performing the communication or information stored in the vehicle;
performing autonomous driving control based on the vehicle communication state, the road state, the time information, and the weather state; and
controlling to output a notification when a change in the vehicle communication state, a change in the road state, a change in time, and a change in the weather state occur;
An autonomous driving state notification method comprising: The method of claim 16
The step of controlling to output the notification,
When a change in the vehicle communication state, a change in the road state, a change in time, or a change in the weather state occurs, the autonomous driving state notification characterized in that the control is performed to display the detected state on a display device or to output a guide voice. method. The method of claim 16
Before driving the vehicle,
Controlling to display and output an expected state of autonomous driving on a driving route to a destination when a request for autonomous driving is received
An autonomous driving state notification method further comprising. The method of claim 16
Before driving the vehicle,
If the autonomous driving request is received and the destination is not set, displaying and outputting an expected state of autonomous driving by zone on a map including the current location
An autonomous driving state notification method further comprising. The method of claim 16
The step of performing the autonomous driving control,
An autonomous driving state notification method characterized by disabling autonomous driving when at least one of general road conditions, night time, and bad weather conditions is present while communication is impossible.
