Abstract
The present application discloses at least a the steering control method and apparatus for a driverless vehicle. In some embodiments, the method includes: acquiring in real time a current location of a driverless vehicle; finding, on a high precision map, a curvature radius of a turn on a road at the current location; acquiring a distance between a front axle and a rear axle and an axle length of the driverless vehicle in response to finding the curvature radius; determining a rotation angle of a steering wheel of the driverless vehicle based on the curvature radius, the distance between the front axle and rear axle, and the axle length; and controlling the steering wheel of the driverless vehicle to rotate by the rotation angle. This implementation can reduce the number of times the driverless vehicle is steered, thereby improving passenger experience of the driverless vehicle.
