    摘要: A method is provided for controlling a driving distance between a host vehicle and a first vehicle driving in front of the host vehicle, the host vehicle driving at a driving speed and at the driving distance to the first vehicle. The host vehicle includes a system for controlling the driving distance and a fuel saving system, wherein the system for controlling the driving distance is adapted to retain the driving distance at not less than a preset minimum safety distance, and wherein the fuel saving system includes an automatic speed increasing function which in case of fulfillment of a set of conditions automatically increases the driving speed in order to utilise kinetic energy inherent in the host vehicle to save fuel. The method includes retrieving information that the set of conditions is fulfilled such that the activation of the automatic speed increasing function is enabled, generating an altered safety distance by altering the preset safety distance by an offset distance, and if the driving distance is less than the altered safety distance, adapting the driving speed until the altered safety distance is reached, whereafter activation of the automatic speed increasing function is allowable, and, upon the activation, resetting the preset minimum safety distance such that the offset distance is available during the activity of the speed increasing function.

    摘要: An autonomous vehicle detects a tailgating vehicle and uses various response mechanisms. For example, a vehicle is identified as a tailgater based on whether its characteristics meet a variable threshold. When the autonomous vehicle is traveling at slower speeds, the threshold is defined in distance. When the autonomous vehicle is traveling at faster speeds, the threshold is defined in time. The autonomous vehicle may respond to the tailgater by modifying its driving behavior. In one example, the autonomous vehicle adjusts a headway buffer (defined in time) from another vehicle in front of the autonomous vehicle. For example, if the tailgater is T seconds too close to the autonomous vehicle, the autonomous vehicle increases the headway buffer to the vehicle in front of it by some amount relative to T.
