Abstract This chapter describes issues relating to vehicle autonomy on highways. First, the needs for vehicle autonomy are reviewed, and an autonomous vehicle concept to meet those needs is presented. Then, a framework for the autonomous control system is proposed based on the knowledge and skills of a human driver. A prototype of the knowledge base for highway cruising was developed, and its workability was confirmed by computer simulation. A lane tracking test using an actual vehicle was conducted to develop driving skills for curved courses. Last, future research themes to realize vehicle autonomy on highways are described.
