Abstract: A control part determines that a contactor is in an open state, based on a voltage at both ends of a smoothing capacitor and a current flowing through a direct-current power supply. In a state in which rotational speed is greater than or equal to a speed threshold value, the control part controls both inverters by shutdown control and brings both contactors into an open state. After the rotational speed reaches less than the speed threshold value, the control part controls a failure-side inverter by active short-circuit control, and drives a normal-side inverter using discharge torque of a smoothing capacitor. After eliminating an abnormal voltage state, the control part controls a normal contactor to a closed state and drives a rotating electrical machine by one of the inverters.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a sideslip preventing function of preventing a sideslip of the vehicle by separately adjusting a longitudinal force applied to each of the wheels. A controller controls the vehicle based on requests input from a driver assistance device, thereby causing the vehicle to travel autonomously. The controller calculates wheel lateral force request values based on the requests input from the driver assistance device. The wheel lateral force request values are request values of lateral forces acting on the respective wheels. The controller, when a behavior of the vehicle is in an oversteer state in a case in which the sideslip preventing function is failing, limits the wheel lateral force request values for the front wheels to values less than or equal to a first lateral force limit value, which is a limit value of the lateral force that can act on the rear wheels.
