Abstract: As a rate of deceleration that is generated by an accelerator pedal of a user's own vehicle increases, a following vehicle inter-vehicular distance threshold, which is compared with a following vehicle inter-vehicular distance and serves as a reference for issuing a notification (illumination of a brake lamp) to a following vehicle, is made greater. Consequently, a notification controller notifies the following vehicle more quickly as the rate of deceleration of the user's own vehicle becomes larger.

Abstract: The system is provided with a controller that controls the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle according to the operation quantity of an accelerator pedal, and a state detector that determines whether a wheel is in a slippery state. The controller sets a deceleration region corresponding to a relatively small amount of operation and an acceleration region corresponding to a relatively large operation quantity regarding the operation quantity, and controls such that, in at least partially, the deceleration of the vehicle is increased as the operation quantity decreases, while in at least a part of the acceleration region, the acceleration of the vehicle is increased as the operation quantity increases. When the state detector detects a slippery state, the controller decreases the maximum deceleration that can be produced in the deceleration region.

Abstract: There is described a read/write device which enables realization of miniaturization, a reduction in weight, improvement in the accuracy of step feed, and reliability. The read/write device includes heads, a carriage, a stepper motor for moving the carriage stepwise, and a medium drive motor for spinning a recording medium. The stepper motor further includes a rotor, a first stator which is formed from multilayer magnetic material and is fixedly positioned so as to surround the rotor, a second stator formed in substantially the same way as the first stator, and a holder for housing the first and second stators.
