Abstract
A vehicle which is automatically driven and steered on a predetermined guide path and which has a manual control behind a front door and/or operable by rotating a tiller from a vertical to a horizontal position has a reverse control with an exteriorally located actuating means for driving the vehicle in a reverse direction when the other manual controls are inaccessible. The reverse control overrides both the manual control as well as the automatic control for the vehicle.
