Abstract
A combine harvester comprises a control device. The control device functions as a travel route creation unit, a discharge route creation unit, and an autonomous driving control unit. The travel route creation unit creates a travel route R for an unharvested area of a field. The discharge route creation unit creates a discharge route D that extends from an end position E, of the travel route R, at which automatic harvesting of the unharvested area is completed, to a discharge position which is preset for the field. The autonomous driving control unit controls the automatic harvesting travel according to the travel route R or the automatic discharge travel according to the discharge route D.
