  • Publication number: 20240116499
    Abstract: The vehicle control device is a vehicle control device that executes autopilot control of a vehicle for securing a lateral distance between an object 8 existing within a predetermined distance from the driving lane and in front of the vehicle outside the driving lane of the vehicle that is the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle control device includes a type determination unit that determines a type of an object based on a detected result of a front sensor mounted on the vehicle, and a driving control unit that changes a target lateral speed in the autopilot control according to the type of the object.

  • Publication number: 20230382411
    Abstract: A vehicle control device comprises a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to restrict reaction force added to an accelerator pedal of a driver's vehicle by a reaction force add section configured to add reaction force to the accelerator pedal of the driver's vehicle in a case in which traveling of the driver's vehicle under a specific condition continues for a fixed period of time or greater.

  • Patent number: 11807277
    Abstract: Provided is a driving assistance apparatus (a control unit (100)) for a vehicle capable of hands-off driving that lets a driver take his or her hands off the steering wheel. The driving assistance apparatus includes a processor (10) configured to determine, on the basis of sensor information indicating a state of the driver, whether or not the driver is in a state unsuitable for the surrounding monitoring of the vehicle during the hands-off driving, warn the driver through a notification device when it is determined that the driver is in a state unsuitable for the surrounding monitoring, and notify the driver, through the notification device, of a request for holding the steering wheel.

  • Publication number: 20230219413
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a processor, the processor being configured to: acquire position information regarding a preceding vehicle traveling ahead of a host vehicle; and control a reaction force application mechanism based on a vehicle spacing in a vehicle width direction between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle, the reaction force application mechanism being configured to apply a reaction force to an accelerator pedal.

  • Publication number: 20230219414
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a processor, wherein the processor is configured to control a reaction force application mechanism, which applies reaction force to an accelerator pedal, based on a predetermined driving operation by a driver. In this way, not only is the reaction force application mechanism controlled on the basis of the inter-vehicle distance between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle, but also, the reaction force that is applied to the accelerator pedal is changed while taking a predetermined driving operation by the driver into consideration.

  • Publication number: 20210267218
    Abstract: A food dough baking device includes: a disk-shaped griddle disposed to be able to rotate about the center of a circle as a rotation center in a heated state; a dough dropper that drops different kinds of food doughs to positions spaced in the radial direction of the griddle, corresponding to the food doughs, respectively; and a dough spreader that thinly spreads, on the entire surface of the griddle, the food doughs dropped toward the griddle. In the food dough baking device, the different kinds of the food doughs are baked while being spread in a thin-disk shape on the rotating griddle by the dough spreader so that each food dough forms a layer concentrically with respect to the center of rotation of the griddle.

  • Patent number: 10251294
    Abstract: A load board includes an electronic component and first wiring connected thereto. A power supply board includes a DC/DC converter and second wiring connected thereto. A bus block includes prismatic block-shaped conductors arranged with a gap interposed therebetween and fixed. The bus block is held between the first plate member and the second plate member such that the end faces of the block-shaped conductors are in contact with the load board and the power supply board. The bus block is connected to the first wiring and the second wiring such that current flows in a direction from the power supply board to the load board in one of two adjacent block-shaped conductors and that current flows in a direction from the load board to the power supply board in the other block-shaped conductor.
