Abstract: A vehicle driving system that controls switching between automatic driving by a vehicle and manual driving by a driver of the vehicle includes a temperature sensor configured to monitor a temperature of an automatic driving ECU which controls the automatic driving; and a microcontroller configured to: (i) set a threshold temperature based on an estimated gradient of increase in the temperature of the automatic driving ECU, the estimated gradient of increase being estimated based on a drive state of an equipment installed on the vehicle, and (ii) in a case where the temperature of the automatic driving ECU that is sensed by the temperature sensor becomes equal to or greater than the threshold temperature, perform an operation for prompting the driver to switch to the manual driving during the automatic driving.

Abstract: The ground contact end is an end of a tread surface in the tire width direction in a state where the tire at an internal pressure of 230 kPa is under a load of 70% of the maximum load according to the load index. The predetermined region T is a region in a portion outside the ground contact end in the tire width direction and is defined between the ground contact end and a location spaced apart from the ground contact end by a distance corresponding to 8% or more and 15% or less of a width from the ground contact end to the other ground contact end in the tire width direction. The predetermined direction forms an angle of 0 degrees or more and 35 degrees or less with respect to a circumferential direction of the tire.
