When an autonomous vehicle is caused to depart from a current position to a pickup location, a waiting location for temporarily parking the autonomous vehicle is set between the current position and the pickup location. The autonomous vehicle is autonomously driven from the current position to the waiting location, temporarily parked at the waiting location, and then autonomously driven to the pickup location.

Autonomous traveling system, autonomous traveling method, and storage medium

An upper-limit speed of a vehicle in automatic parking control is set, and the vehicle is caused to park automatically in a parking space at a vehicle speed equal to or lower than the set upper-limit speed. In this case, the upper-limit speed is set according to a vehicle body size of the vehicle, and the upper-limit speed is lower when the vehicle body size of the vehicle is greater than a preset size than when the vehicle body size of the vehicle is less than the preset size.

Automatic parking system, automatic parking method, and storage medium for setting vehicle speed upper-limit during automatic parking control

In a vehicle control device for an autonomous driving vehicle that autonomously travels based on an operation command, a gesture image of a person around the autonomous driving vehicle is acquired, and a stored reference gesture image is collated with the acquired gesture image. At this time, when it is discriminated that the gesture of the person around the autonomous driving vehicle is a gesture requesting the autonomous driving vehicle to stop, it is determined whether a disaster has occurred. When it is determined that the disaster has occurred, the autonomous driving vehicle is caused to stop around the person requesting the autonomous driving vehicle to stop.

Vehicle control device, vehicle control method, and storage medium

A vehicle is autonomously driven in an environment where a first road for vehicles running in a first direction and a second road for vehicles running in a second direction, different from the first direction, are provided alongside each other, and where a first parking space that is entered from the first road and exited to the first road is set and a second parking space that is entered from the second road and exited to the second road is set. When the vehicle is temporarily parked in the first parking space and a running direction of the vehicle heading for the next destination after being parked is the second direction, the vehicle is transferred from the first parking space to the second parking space by autonomous driving after a user of the vehicle gets out of the vehicle.

Autonomous driving system, autonomous driving method, and storage medium

Whether a vehicle is parked inside parking lines in a parking lot is detected. When the vehicle is detected not parked inside the parking lines, either the vehicle or the parking lines are moved in such a manner that the vehicle is parked inside the parking lines.

Parking lot management system, parking lot management method, and storage medium

A rotation speed sensor, configured to detect a rotation speed of a rotating body, is composed of a cable composed of an electric wire including a conductor wire, and a sheath provided over the electric wire, a circuit substrate mounted with an integrated circuit thereon and connected to the conductor wire being exposed from the cable, and a housing including a first housing, which is configured to hold the circuit substrate therein, and a second housing, which is configured to hold the cable therein, with the first housing being welded to the second housing, and with the second housing being welded to a surface of the sheath of the cable.

Rotational speed sensor and production method therefor

A vehicle includes a sensor that detects a traffic signal installed in a travel route of the own vehicle, another vehicle traveling around the own vehicle, and another mobile object around the own vehicle. After recognizing that the own vehicle has passed the traffic signal, the vehicle determines whether or not there are the other mobile object moving toward the traffic signal and the other vehicle moving beside the other mobile object toward the traffic signal. When determining that there are the other mobile object moving toward the traffic signal and the other vehicle moving beside the other mobile object toward the traffic signal, the vehicle controls the traffic signal based on a traveling state of the other vehicle.

Vehicle, traffic signal control method, and program

A method of manufacturing a cable with resin molded body, wherein the cable with resin molded body includes a cable and a resin molded body formed by resin molding, wherein the resin molded body includes a main body to cover the tip portion of the cable and a flange integrally molded with the main body, and wherein the flange includes a bolt hole through which a bolt is inserted so as to fix the flange to the attachment object. The method includes molding the resin molded body by injecting a resin into a mold, the mold including a main body-molding portion for molding the main body, a flange-molding portion for molding the flange and an outlet formed behind the flange-molding portion in relation to the main body-molding portion, and draining the resin through the outlet during the molding of the resin molded body.
