Abstract
A work vehicle includes an override operation sensor that senses override operation to carry out switching between an automatic driving mode and a manual driving mode and a selection device for selecting any one of the manual driving mode, a manned automatic driving mode, and an unmanned automatic driving mode, as the driving mode of a dump truck. A controller carries out switching from the manned automatic driving mode to the manual driving mode when override operation is sensed by the override operation sensor in the case in which the manned automatic driving mode is selected by the selection device, and continues the unmanned automatic driving mode when override operation is sensed by the override operation sensor in the case in which the unmanned automatic driving mode is selected by the selection device.
