Abstract
A vehicle comprising a steering wheel; a steering switch disposed on the steering wheel; an other-vehicle-detector for detecting another vehicle; a tactile sensation presentation unit for presenting a tactile sensation to an operator by vibrating the steering switch; and a controller configured to, according to detection by the other-vehicle-detector, cause the tactile sensation presentation unit to vibrate the steering switch to present a tactile sensation to the operator.
Claims9
A vehicle, comprising:
- a steering wheel;
- a steering switch disposed on the steering wheel;
- an other-vehicle-detector for detecting another vehicle;
- a tactile sensation presentation unit for presenting a tactile sensation to an operator by vibrating the steering switch;
- and
- a controller configured to, according to detection by the other-vehicle-detector, cause the tactile sensation presentation unit to vibrate the steering switch to present a tactile sensation to the operator.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a steering wheel;
- a turn signal lever;
- a contact detector for detecting contact to the turn signal lever;
- an other-vehicle-detector for detecting another vehicle;
- a tactile sensation presentation unit for presenting a tactile sensation to an operator by vibrating the steering wheel;
- and
- a controller configured to detect contact to the turn signal lever by the operator, and according to detection by the other-vehicle-detector, cause the tactile sensation presentation unit to vibrate the steering wheel to present a tactile sensation to the operator.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a steering wheel;
- a turn signal lever;
- an other-vehicle-detector for detecting another vehicle;
- a tactile sensation presentation unit for presenting a tactile sensation to an operator by vibrating the steering wheel;
- and
- a controller configured to detect an operation on the turn signal lever by the operator, and according to detection by the other-vehicle-detector, cause the tactile sensation presentation unit to vibrate the steering wheel to present a tactile sensation to the operator.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a steering wheel,
- a steering switch disposed on the steering wheel,
- an other-vehicle-detector for detecting another vehicle,
- a tactile sensation presentation unit for presenting a tactile sensation to an operator by vibrating the steering switch, and
- an ECU for controlling the vehicle;
- wherein
- the ECU is configured to, according to detection by the other-vehicle-detector, cause the tactile sensation presentation unit to vibrate the steering switch to present a tactile sensation to the operator.
An in-vehicle control method for use in a vehicle including a steering wheel, a steering switch disposed on the steering wheel, an other-vehicle-detector for detecting another vehicle, a tactile sensation presentation unit for presenting a tactile sensation to an operator by vibrating the steering switch, and an ECU for controlling the vehicle;
- comprising
- a step in which the ECU, according to detection by the other-vehicle-detector, causes the tactile sensation presentation unit to vibrate the steering switch to present a tactile sensation to the operator.
