An automatic driving vehicle is running in an automatic driving mode effected by a driving control device. An operator is able to instruct via a SLOW DOWN button on a touch panel that the automatic driving vehicle is to be decelerated or stopped. Should any anomaly occur to the SLOW DOWN button, a message or the like is displayed on a touch panel to encourage operation of an emergency stop switch. When the operator operates the emergency stop switch, emergency stop control is executed.

Automatic driving control system

A display control unit displays a background of a touch panel in a first color and does not display a button for starting autonomous driving on the touch panel when an autonomous driving vehicle is not permitted to travel in autonomous driving from a management center and displays the background of the touch panel in a second color different from the first color and displays an autonomous driving start button for starting the autonomous driving on the touch panel when the autonomous driving vehicle is permitted to travel in autonomous driving from the management center.

Operation device comprising touch panel to input controls for autonomous driving vehicle preliminary class

An on-vehicle interface apparatus includes a touch screen and an I/F controller. The I/F controller stores a first message and a second message having a lower urgency level in association with respective events. The I/F controller displays operation switches including operation switches regarding traveling of a vehicle irrespectively of the events on the touch screen, and, in response to occurrence of an event, displays a corresponding message on the touch screen. The I/F controller, in response to detection of a touch operation on a display region of the first message during display of the first message, outputs to the vehicle controller a signal that instructs execution of the driving control corresponding to the first message.

On-vehicle interface apparatus

An operation device for an autonomous vehicle includes a touch panel configured to display at least one of a start button and a deceleration button, and a notification button on the same screen. The autonomous vehicle is autonomously drivable. The start button is a button for starting driving of the autonomous vehicle in an autonomous drive mode. The deceleration button is a button for decelerating the autonomous vehicle during the autonomous drive mode. The notification button is a button for performing notification to an outside of the autonomous vehicle.

Operation device for autonomous vehicle

A vehicle loads at least one of a plurality of upper units having space to store a person or an object on an under unit including a drive mechanism that rotates wheels in the vehicle. The vehicle includes an under unit including a drive mechanism that rotates wheels and the at least one of the plurality of upper units loaded on the under unit. The under unit includes a loading unit, on which the at least one of the plurality of upper units as described above can be loaded. Each of the plurality of upper units includes a joint that joins to a different upper unit that is adjacently loaded.

Vehicle, upper unit, and control device

An exterior structure of a vehicle includes a charging port for external charging and a sensor unit for automated driving. The sensor unit is provided on at least one surface of a front surface, a back surface, and a side surface of the vehicle, and is provided to protrude outside the vehicle from the surface. The charging port is provided below the sensor unit.

Exterior structure of vehicle

The present disclosure makes it possible to freely exchange interior of a vehicle. An interior unit according to the present disclosure is provided with: a frame portion attachable to and detachable from a vehicle; and interior parts installed on the frame portion. The frame portion is foldable, or extendable and contractible.

Interior unit, vehicle and control method

Operation device comprising touch panel to input controls for autonomous driving vehicle

An operation device for an autonomous vehicle includes a touch panel configured to display at least one of a start button and a deceleration button, a notification button, and a tab switch on the same screen, the autonomous vehicle being autonomously drivable, the start button being a button for starting driving of the autonomous vehicle in an autonomous drive mode, the deceleration button being a button for decelerating the autonomous vehicle during the autonomous drive mode, the notification button being a button for performing notification to an outside of the autonomous vehicle, and the tab switch being a switch for displaying or enlarging an equipment control button group for controlling equipment mounted on the autonomous vehicle.

A vehicle comprises an under unit which is equipped with a driving mechanism configured to rotate wheels of the vehicle, and an upper unit which is mounted on the under unit. The upper unit comprises an extension/contraction mechanism which is configured to extend or contract the upper unit according to a size of the under unit.

Vehicle, upper unit and non-transitory storage medium

A control device for an automated driving vehicle has a first automated driving mode in which the automated driving vehicle, receiving a permission notice from an operations management controller, travels, according to automatic operation, along a controlled route managed by the operations management controller, in accordance with a traveling schedule provided from the operations management controller; and a second automated driving mode in which the automated driving vehicle travels, without a permission notice from the operations management controller, along a non-controlled route that is not managed by the operations management controller, according to automatic operation. The first automated driving mode and the second automated driving mode are switchable.

Control device for automated driving vehicle

The present disclosure relates to control performed in a case where a vehicle is to turn right or left at an intersection. A control device causes the vehicle to carry out a right turn or left turn when a travel start button for starting travel from a stopped state is manipulated while the vehicle is in a stopped state due to presence of a target to be paid attention to during travel, such as a vehicle in an opposite lane or a pedestrian.
