Electrical control device for headlight of wiper of autonomous vehicle based on driving state

An electrical device controller for controlling an electrical device including either a headlight or a wiper used in a vehicle which is capable of switching a driving state between autonomous driving and manual driving, the controller comprising:

• an operation member configured to be operated by an occupant with at least three different and independent positions that cannot be selected simultaneously, which include:
• (i) stop position, (ii) automatic position, and (iii) at least one manual position that is not the stop position or the automatic position;
• a processor, and a memory for storing a program executed by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
• check if the driving state of the vehicle is in the autonomous driving or manual driving;
• control the electrical device in a plurality of different and independent operation modes that cannot be selected simultaneously, the plurality of operation modes including an automatic mode for automatically changing an operation state of the electrical device, the processor operating the electrical device in the automatic mode when the operation member is in the automatic position and the processor has determined that the driving state is manual driving,
• control the electrical device in a stop mode to stop the electrical device, the processor operating the electrical device in the stop mode when the operation member is moved to the stop position and the processor has determined that the driving state is manual driving,
• control the electrical device in a manual operation mode, the processor operating the electrical device in the manual operation mode when the operation member is in the manual position and the processor has determined that the driving state is manual driving,
• control the electrical device in the automatic mode, the processor operating the electrical device in the automatic mode regardless of the position of the operation member, and the driving state is autonomous driving, and
• controlling the electrical device using the processor in the stop mode at least on a temporary basis when the operation member is switched to the stop position from a position other than the stop position, and the processor has determined that the driving state is autonomous driving.
