Abstract
In the case where the driving torque distribution for four wheels of a car is controlled correspondingly to a lateral acceleration of the car, there is selected either an actual lateral acceleration of the car detected by a lateral acceleration sensor or a lateral acceleration calculated on the basis of a steering angle and a car speed, of which absolute value is smaller, in order to execute torque distribution control. Thus, the turning of the car can be enhanced.
