AUTONOMOUS DRIVING METHOD AND APPARATUS

An autonomous driving method belongs to the field of autonomous driving technologies, and may be applied to an intelligent vehicle and an autonomous driving vehicle. The autonomous driving method includes: obtaining a motion status of an obstacle; determining a location of a towing point and a speed of the towing point based on the motion status of the obstacle, where both the location of the towing point and the speed of the towing point are continuous functions of the motion status of the obstacle; and obtaining expected acceleration of an ego vehicle based on the location of the towing point and the speed of the towing point. The method can reduce vehicle speed jumps during autonomous driving, and improve user experience. An apparatus is further disclosed.
