Abstract
A control device for an autonomous driving vehicle includes a first input section, a second input section, and a travel state determination section. The first input section acquires a detection signal of a first sensor that detects another vehicle approaching the intersection. The second input section acquires a detection signal of a second sensor that detects at least one of a gesture of a driver of the other vehicle, a voice of the driver of the other vehicle, a motion of the other vehicle, and a radio signal output from the other vehicle. The travel state determination section generates, upon detection of the other vehicle based on the detection signal of the first sensor, a travel command signal for allowing or restricting entry of the autonomous driving vehicle into the intersection in accordance with an action of the other vehicle predicted based on the detection signal of the second sensor.
