Abstract: A secondary battery includes: an electrode plate including a main body portion and an electrode terminal portion protruding from the main body portion along a first direction; and a separator adhered to the electrode plate, wherein the main body portion of the electrode plate includes a central region located in a vicinity of a center in the first direction, a first region located on a side close to the electrode terminal portion with respect to the central region in the first direction, and a second region located on a side opposite to the first region with respect to the central region in the first direction, and adhesion strength per unit area between the electrode plate and the separator in the first region is higher than adhesion strength per unit area between the electrode plate and the separator in the second region.

Abstract: An automated driving control unit sets an automated driving state to a first automated driving state (step S3), in a case that an automated driving instruction unit has instructed the initiation of automated driving in a state in which a destination is set by a destination setting unit, sets the automated driving state to a second automated driving state (step S4), in a case that the automated driving instruction unit has instructed the initiation of automated driving in a state in which the destination is not set by the destination setting unit, and causes the automated driving state to transition from the first automated driving state to the second automated driving state (step S13), in a case that a current travel position lies outside of a travel route during the travel control in the first automated driving state.

Abstract: A vehicle control device is equipped with a travel control unit which, in the case that a user-requested driving force exceeds a system-required driving force in a state in which a user is not in contact with an operating element, performs a travel control on the basis of a limited driving force obtained by applying a limit to the user-requested driving force, whereas in the case that the user-requested driving force exceeds the system-required driving force in a state in which the user is in contact with the operating element, performs the travel control on the basis of the user-requested driving force without applying the limit to the user-requested driving force.

Abstract: A control system of a vehicle determines whether to require a shift from a first travel state in which an operation by a driver is not required to a second travel state in which the operation by the driver is required; makes an operation request to the driver when the shift is required; determines whether the driver has performed an operation in response to the request; and stops the vehicle in a predetermined position when the driver has not performed the operation, wherein in a case in which a lane change operation is required to stop the vehicle in the predetermined position, a speed of travel of the self-vehicle is reduced in accordance with each of a vehicle speed set for a first lane before the lane change operation and a vehicle speed set for a second lane after the lane change operation.

Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a vehicle, an information terminal apparatus that can provide, on a display unit, a plurality of contents which provide training on an operation method of the vehicle, and a server that can communicate with the vehicle and the information terminal apparatus. The information terminal apparatus includes a display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display a first content that provides training on an operation method including a method to start an operation of a specific function of the vehicle and a second content that provides, to a user of the vehicle who has been trained by the first content and is registered in the server, training on an operation method corresponding to a phenomenon that can occur while the specific function is provided.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus comprises a setting unit that sets a target position within a lane currently being traveled, and a steering controller that carries out steering control based on the target position. The steering controller can accept a steering input resulting from a manual operation, even when steering control is being carried out, generates a counterforce against the manual operation, and controls steering counterforce characteristics so that when the target position is distanced, in a width direction, from a first reference position near the center of the lane, the steering counterforce against a manual operation in a first direction from the target position toward the first reference position is lower than the steering counterforce against a manual operation in a second direction different from the first direction with respect to a manual operation at a given steering angle.

Abstract: A control system of a vehicle determines whether to require a shift from a first travel state in which an operation by a driver is not required to a second travel state in which the operation by the driver is required; makes an operation request to the driver when the shift is required; determines whether the driver has performed an operation in response to the request; and stops the vehicle in a predetermined position when the driver has not performed the operation, wherein in a case in which a lane change operation is required to stop the vehicle in the predetermined position, a speed of movement in a lateral direction at the time of the lane change operation is suppressed more than the speed of movement in the lateral direction at the time of a lane change operation performed in the first travel state.
