  • Publication number: 20210339751
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a communicator, a road-surface abnormality determiner, and a driving controller. The communicator is configured to establish communication with a following vehicle following the vehicle driving ahead in a travel road. The road-surface abnormality determiner is configured to determine whether there is an abnormality on a road surface of the travel road, based on comparison between first driving information, serving as a reference to be used when the vehicle drives on the travel road, and second driving information detected as a result of the vehicle having actually driven. When the road-surface abnormality determiner determines that there is the abnormality, the driving controller is configured to predict whether the following vehicle is able to avoid the abnormality and to send an instruction to avoid the abnormality to the following vehicle via the communicator if the driving controller predicts that the following vehicle is able to avoid the abnormality.

  • Publication number: 20160209286
    Abstract: A pressure sensor module capable of fixing a diaphragm to a base body without using welding is provided. A base body, a first diaphragm, a first elastic body, and a first mounting member are included. The base body has a first recess with a pressure sensor element to be installed inside, and a first receiving surface section extending outward from an opening edge of the first recess. The first diaphragm is provided facing the first receiving surface section so as to close the first recess from an inlet side and arranged separably from the base body. The first elastic body is arranged on one surface side of the first diaphragm outside the opening edge of the first recess. The first mounting member is mounted on the base body with the first diaphragm and the first elastic body pressed toward the first receiving surface section.
