Abstract
A programmable driverless vehicle steered in accordance with a program recorded in a data recorder. The driverless vehicle includes a control circuit for playing back the record to cause a programmed steering position representative signal to appear at the output of the data recorder. The control circuit determines the steering position error of the actual steering position from the programmed steering position indicated by the steering position signal provided from the data recorder and provides a control signal corresponding to the determined error. The control signal is applied to a control device which thereby adjusts the steering position of the driverless vehicle as required to keep the actual steering position substantially similar to the programmed steering position indicated by the programmed steering position representative signal provided from the data recorder.
