Abstract: A driving control device receives power supply from an accessory battery to operate, controls automatic driving, and outputs a control signal. A steering ECU, a power ECU and a brake ECU instruct a steering mechanism, a PCU and a brake to operate based on the control signal, respectively. An emergency stop switch is operated by an operator. In a case where the emergency stop switch is operated, an interface processing device cuts off a switch to stop the power supply, shuts down the driving control device, and outputs a control signal that causes the steering mechanism, the PCU and the brake to perform an emergency stop operation.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle is provided with a touch panel that enables an operator to input vehicle speed control instructions during an automatic driving mode and a mechanical operation unit for inputting driving control instructions. When the driving mode of the autonomous vehicle is the automatic driving mode or a semi-automatic driving mode, a driving control unit of the autonomous vehicle prioritizes a vehicle speed control instruction input from the touch panel over a vehicle speed control instruction input from the mechanical operation unit and executes vehicle speed control for the autonomous vehicle based on the prioritized instruction.

Abstract: A vehicle starting mechanism includes a switch box and a power switch. The switch box is provided near an operation panel or a meter panel, and has a lid that can be opened and closed. The power switch is housed inside the switch box, and is capable of switching the vehicle between a state capable of traveling and a state incapable of traveling.

Abstract: A vehicle start-up mechanism is provided in a vehicle configured to travel while occupants are boarded in a vehicle cabin. The vehicle start-up mechanism includes: a first vehicle start-up switch configured to switch the state of the vehicle between the start-up state and the halt state; and a switch box provided on an outer surface of the vehicle and having the first vehicle start-up switch. The vehicle has an autonomous driving function.

Abstract: A touch panel of an automatic driving vehicle includes a SLOW DOWN button. An operator is able to operate the SLOW DOWN button while the vehicle is running in the automatic driving mode to apply different deceleration controls using a first operation, or a long press, and a second operation, or a short press. For example, when a long press is applied, the automatic driving vehicle completes deceleration at time t4, or a time immediately after time t3 at which the long press operation is completed. In contrast, when a short press is applied, the automatic driving vehicle completes deceleration after the elapse of a relatively long period after completion of the short press.

Abstract: A vehicle lower portion structure includes side rails respectively disposed on right and left sides and extending along a longitudinal direction, and further includes a cab mount bracket fixed to an outer side of each of the side rails in a vehicle width direction, in which a vehicle body is secured above the cab mount bracket. The vehicle lower portion structure further includes a connector disposed on an upper side of the cab mount bracket and configured to connect the cab mount bracket to the vehicle body, in which at least one of a wire harness and a brake pipe is arranged outside of at least one of the side rails in the vehicle width direction in a region located inward of the connector in the vehicle width direction and upward of the cab mount bracket.
