Abstract
There is provided a driving apparatus which can automatically drive a functioning unit to cause the unit to operate as intended without using an on-board battery as a power supply therefor. The driving apparatus is installed in a vehicle to drive the functioning unit on the vehicle and includes an input unit which moves in response to acceleration resulting from a running operation of the vehicle or actions inevitably taken by an occupant when the occupant uses the vehicle and a driving unit which is connected to the input unit and the functioning unit and is adapted to follow the movement of the input unit to thereby accumulate therein a driving force, so as to drive the functioning unit with the driving force so accumulated.
