In response, many companies have developed and commercialized emergency stop assist system which stops in the lane, and also the development and discussion of emergency stop assist systems with pull-over function is being promoted in several countries in order to ensure the safety of the own vehicle, the following vehicle, and the evacuation of passengers, and to shorten the rescue time. Regarding Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the market, the ones which are categorized as Lv.2 by SAE are mainstream, so the development of emergency stop assist systems with pull-over function that utilize Lv.2 ADAS is required in order to spread the use of it.
