Abstract
A work machine includes a vehicle body, a rearward detecting section, and a control section. The vehicle body includes a traveling unit and a work implement disposed in front of the traveling unit. The rearward detecting section is configured to detect an object when traveling in reverse due to driving of the traveling unit. The control section is configured to decide to validate or invalidate a first control according to a detection of the object, a state of traveling in reverse, and a scooping work state by the work implement. The control section is configured to decide to validate the first control based on the scooping work state when the first control is invalidated.
