A vehicle control apparatus includes a first control unit and a second control unit each configured to perform travel control of a vehicle based on a recognition result of an external recognition device group configured to obtain external information of the vehicle and a detection result of a vehicle information detection unit configured to obtain state information of an actuator group of the vehicle. In a case in which functional degradation of at least one of the external recognition device group, the actuator group, and the vehicle information detection unit is detected, based on the recognition result and the detection result, the first control unit determines contents of vehicle control in fallback control for restricting a travel control function of the vehicle and determines whether to execute the fallback control by one of the first control unit and the second control unit.

Vehicle control apparatus, vehicle, vehicle control method, and non transitory computer readable storage medium

Provided is a vehicle control device configured to: recognize a surrounding situation of a vehicle; control steering and acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle; detect operation states of a plurality of external recognition sensors; determine a driving mode of the vehicle as any one of a plurality of driving modes including a first driving mode, a second driving mode, and a third driving mode; change the third driving mode to either one of the first driving mode and the second driving mode when determining that a failure has occurred in one of the plurality of external recognition sensors that implement: a function of causing the vehicle to follow a preceding vehicle; and a function of assisting the vehicle in keeping a lane; and change the third driving mode to the second driving mode when determining that degradation in performance has occurred in one of the plurality of external recognition sensors.

Vehicle control device, vehicle control method, and storage medium

In a case where a first control device performs traveling control, an abnormality occurs in a first control target, and an abnormality further occurs in a first control target or a second control target, a vehicle control system executes the following processes: (A) in a case where no abnormality occurs in a first control target required for the traveling control, the first control device continues the traveling control; (B) in a case where an abnormality occurs in the first control target required for the traveling control and no abnormality occurs in the second control target required for the traveling control, the second control device executes the traveling control; and (C) in a case where an abnormality occurs in the first control target required for the traveling control and an abnormality occurs in the second control target required for the traveling control, the traveling control is limited.

Vehicle control system and vehicle control method

An object of the present invention is to obtain fermentative yeast having highly efficient ethanol production without introducing a foreign gene. A further object is to obtain a fermentative yeast that is resistant to proliferation inhibitors such as organic acids, which prevent the proliferation of the fermentative yeast.that can produce ethanol effectively from pentose and hexose was isolated by breeding. Moreover, resistance was imparted to the fermentative yeast by introducing transaldolase and alcohol dehydrogenase genes derived frominto the fermentative yeast.
