The patent abstract shows that this invention relates to the sphere of autonomous driving technologies. The CVIS-powered method enables the control of an autonomous car based on the cooperative autonomous driving orders generated after the system receiving computing instructions, and makes the system load more balanced.

Geely applied for patents related to autonomous driving technologies for many times since 2020. In March this year, Geely Automotive Research Institute published a patent for “an autonomous driving controlling method, device and equipment”. This invention refers to an autonomous driving method designed to prevent the system from being directly exist autonomous driving mode due to the intervention of the functions with higher priority and the error of subsystems, and delimit the responsibilities between drivers and the system, so as to lower autonomous driving risks and make autonomous driving system more reliable.
