Abstract
This electrostatic sensor is provided with an upper electrode provided in a lower part of a vehicle, a lower electrode provided in the lower part of the vehicle so as to be positioned below the upper electrode, and a detection unit for detecting whether there has been an operation consisting of the moving in and out of a foot below the vehicle on the basis of capacitance variation in the upper electrode and lower electrode. The detection unit determines that the operation consisting of the moving in and out of a foot has occurred if the time when the peak capacitance of the upper electrode is reached and the time when the peak capacitance of the lower electrode is reached match.
