  • Patent number: 11597401
    Abstract: A driving assistance apparatus makes a drive force of a vehicle equal to an erroneous operation coping drive force which is smaller than an ordinary drive force in a period from a satisfaction of an erroneous operation start condition which is satisfied when an accelerator pedal is operated erroneously to a satisfaction of an erroneous operation end condition which is satisfied when the erroneous operation has ended. The erroneous operation coping drive force is set to a first drive force if the erroneous operation start condition becomes satisfied after a reoperation determination time point at which a time threshold elapses from when the erroneous operation end condition became last satisfied. Meanwhile, the erroneous operation coping drive force is set to a second drive force which is greater than the first drive force if the erroneous operation start condition becomes satisfied before the reoperation determination time point.

  • Patent number: 11511765
    Abstract: Provided is a control apparatus for a vehicle configured to execute driving force suppression control when a predetermined erroneous operation condition is satisfied, the erroneous operation condition being satisfied when a first condition including at least an operation velocity condition is satisfied and a second condition is satisfied, the operation velocity condition being satisfied when an operation velocity which is an amount of change in an operation amount of an accelerator operation element per unit time is equal to or higher than an operation velocity threshold, and the second condition being satisfied when the operation amount becomes equal to or larger than a first operation amount threshold within a first time threshold from a time point at which the first condition is satisfied.
