Abstract
A system and method control an automobile by decelerating the automobile at a first deceleration using a braking mechanism in response to detecting that a parking brake switch is turned on, a second deceleration which is smaller than the first deceleration, in response to not detecting that the parking brake switch is turned on and determining that the driver is incapacitated, and a third deceleration which is smaller than the first deceleration, in response to determining that an SOS switch is turned on, detecting that the parking brake switch is changed from on to off, and not determining that the driver is incapacitated.
