A vehicle including a lamp body that irradiates surroundings of the vehicle, comprising a control unit configured to control an irradiation range of the lamp body according to a speed of the vehicle, wherein the control unit controls the irradiation range according to the speed to be different when the speed increases and when the speed decreases.

Vehicle, control method for vehicle, and storage medium

A straddle type vehicle includes a front cowl configured to cover a front part of the vehicle, a shield arranged above the front cowl, and a detecting unit configured to detect a situation in front of the vehicle. The detecting unit includes at least an image capturing unit that is positioned above a lower end of the front cowl and in a central portion of the straddle type vehicle in a vehicle width direction, and is arranged in a position where the shield does not interfere with an image capturing range. The image capturing unit is arranged behind an upper portion of the front cowl.

Straddle type vehicle

An object recognition apparatus mounted in a vehicle including a sensor is provided. The apparatus includes a detection unit configured to detect an object present in a same lane as that of the vehicle by using information from the sensor, an acquisition unit configured to acquire information concerning lights which the object turns on by using the information from the sensor, and a determining unit configured to determine a type of the object based on the information concerning the lights. A condition in which the determination unit determines that the type of the object is a two-wheeled vehicle includes a case in which the object includes not less than two lights arrayed in a vertical direction with respect to the ground surface.

Object recognition apparatus, vehicle, and object recognition method

A straddle type vehicle comprising: a first display unit configured to display speed information of the straddle type vehicle; and a second display unit configured to display information concerning automatic traveling control of the straddle type vehicle, wherein the first display unit and the second display unit are arranged on a front side of the vehicle with respect to a head pipe of the straddle type vehicle, in the first display unit, a display position of the vehicle speed information changes linearly or in a curve in accordance with a change in a speed of the straddle type vehicle, and the second display unit is arranged to be adjacent in an upward direction or a left-and-right direction of the display position of the speed information on a high speed range side of the first display unit.

A straddle type vehiclehaving at least one reflecting portionfor reflecting a radar wave transmitted from a radar equipment. The reflecting portionis provided on a cap membermounted on a rear end portionof an exhaust pipe, and the reflecting portionis arranged below left and right tail lightswhen viewed from a rear side of a vehicle body.

A straddle type vehicle has a rear detection unit configured to detect an object in a detection region behind a vehicle, and a notification unit configured to notify a driver when the object is detected by the rear detection unit. The straddle type vehicle comprises: an acquisition unit configured to acquire travel information of the straddle type vehicle; an identification unit configured to identify a turning direction and a turning radius of the straddle type vehicle on the basis of the travel information; and a change unit configured to change straight-ahead-travel detection region settings for the rear detection unit on the basis of the turning direction and turning radius.

Straddle type vehicle, method for controlling straddle type vehicle, and storage medium

A straddle type vehicle includes a front cover configured to cover a front part of the vehicle, and a detecting unit for detecting a situation in front of the vehicle. The detecting unit is arranged behind a central portion of the front cover in a vehicle width direction. A gap is formed between the detecting unit and the front cover in a vehicle longitudinal direction and a viscoelastic member is installed in the gap.

A device detects a behavior of a straddle-type vehicle in a yaw direction and in a roll direction, determines whether a traveling state of the straddle-type vehicle is a first state or a second state closer to a straight traveling state than the first state, and estimates a turning radius of the straddle-type vehicle. In a case where it is determined that the traveling state is the first state, a turning radius is estimated by a first method based on a detection result of the behavior in the yaw direction. In a case where it is determined that the traveling state is the second state, the turning radius is estimated by a second method based on a detection result of the behavior in the roll direction.

Estimation device and straddle-type vehicle

There is provided with a straddle type vehicle. A direction indicator is formed to project outward in a vehicle width direction and shows a traveling direction of the vehicle. A sensing device detects an obstacle around the vehicle using an ultrasonic wave. The sensing device is arranged in a distal end portion of the direction indicator.

The present invention provides a straddle type vehicle, comprising: a storage unit arranged at a rear portion of a vehicle to be capable of storing an article; and a detection unit configured to detect a surrounding situation in a rear side of the vehicle, wherein the storage unit includes an outer case and an inner case which defines a storage space capable of storing the article, and wherein the detection unit is arranged between the outer case and the inner case, at a rear portion of the storage unit.

There is provided with a straddle type vehicle. A grip is gripped by a passenger. A sensing device detects an obstacle around the vehicle by using an ultrasonic wave. An electric harness is connected to the sensing device is arranged in the grip is connected to the sensing device through an interior of the grip.

A straddle type vehicle comprising a rear fender arranged on an upper side of a rear wheel, and a monitoring device configured to monitor a traveling environment on the periphery of a vehicle, wherein the monitoring device includes a pair of sensors, the rear fender includes a sensor support member configured to support one of the pair of sensors on a left side of a vehicle body and the other on a right side of the vehicle body, the sensor support member includes a pair of left and right side wall portions, and a bottom wall portion configured to connect the pair of left and right side wall portions, and the pair of sensors are arranged along the pair of left and right side wall portions on the bottom wall portion.

The present invention provides a straddle type vehicle, comprising: a taillight disposed in a rear portion of a vehicle and configured to emit light to rearward of the vehicle; a license plate disposed at the rear portion of the vehicle; and a detection unit configured to detect surrounding conditions behind the vehicle, wherein the detection unit is connected to a vehicle body frame via a support stay and is disposed to be lower than the taillight and higher than the license plate.

The straddle type vehicle comprises an antenna that can receive a wireless signal of a predetermined frequency band, and a sensing unit for sensing a situation in front of the vehicle. A constituent component of the vehicle is arranged between the antenna and the sensing unit.

The present invention provides a straddle type vehicle, comprising: a taillight disposed in a rear portion of a vehicle and configured to emit light to rearward of the vehicle and a detection unit configured to emit radio waves and detect surrounding conditions behind the vehicle, wherein the taillight includes a light source and a housing for accommodating the light source, the detection unit is provided inside the housing, the housing has a transmitting portion that includes a first region for transmitting light emitted from the light source and a second region for transmitting the radio waves emitted from the detection unit, and the first region has an uneven shape for diffusing the light emitted from the light source, and the second region does not have the uneven shape.
