Abstract: A motor vehicle comprising a plurality of wheels; at least one controllable driving system to control at least the speed and the orientation of said wheels; a control unit operatively connected to the driving system in order to adjust the operation of the driving system; and an interface configured to receive at least one driving command given by a driver; the motor vehicle further comprises a support structure defining a horseman-like driving position for the driver, who is in a prone position; the interface comprises a first control, which can be operated by a first hand of the driver, and a second control, which can be operated by a first foot of said driver; the first control is arranged in front of said second control (33; 34), with reference to a normal moving direction of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A control method for an electrically driven road vehicle comprising the steps of: providing an electric powertrain system; determining a plurality of first virtual gears for a boost configuration and/or a plurality of second virtual gears for a release configuration; detecting, following actuation of an interface system by the driver, while driving, a first selection for one of the first virtual gears and/or a second selection for one of the second virtual gears; and delivering, in the boost configuration, a drive torque to the at least two wheels as a function of the first selection; or delivering, in the release configuration, an anti-motive torque to the at least two wheels according to the second selection.

Abstract: A control system for a motor vehicle comprising an electronic control unit and a sensory system adapted to detect an obstacle is disclosed. The sensory system generates a first informative datum related to a distance of the vehicle from the obstacle at a first time instant and a second informative datum related to the height of the obstacle. The electronic control unit verifies that the obstacle height complies with a safety criterion as a function of the second informative datum, determines the space travelled by the vehicle between the first time instant and a second time instant as a function of the first informative datum when the obstacle height does not comply with the safety criterion, and controls a braking system and/or signalling system of the vehicle on the basis of the first informative datum and of the determined space to limit the risk of collision with the obstacle.

Abstract: A motor vehicle comprising at least one pair of wheels aligned to each other and placed on respective opposite sides of the motor vehicle, control means configured to adjust at least one control variable corresponding to an operative state of the wheels, and a steering wheel to steer the motor vehicle, characterized in that the control means comprise a control device arranged on the steering wheel and coupled to the steering wheel in a movable manner relative to the steering wheel to be manipulable by a driver of the motor vehicle to command an adjustment of the one or more control variables.

Abstract: A control method and system to control a car; the following steps are carried out: determining a position of a joystick, which is designed to be grabbed by a hand of a driver of the car; adjusting a longitudinal motion and a transverse motion of the car as a function of the position of the joystick; determining a position of at least one pedal, which is designed to be pressed by a foot of the driver of the car; and controlling a dynamic behaviour of the car, which is different from the longitudinal motion and from the transverse motion, a function of the position of the pedal.
