Abstract
A vehicle traveling controller according to the present disclosure performs automatic steering so that a vehicle travels along a target path. The vehicle traveling controller allows a driver to intervene in steering. When the driver intervenes in steering and thereby a traveling position of the vehicle deviates outside from a threshold line set apart from the target path in a lane width direction, the vehicle traveling controller increases a steering reaction force acting on steering operation by the driver.
Claims6
A vehicle traveling controller that performs automatic steering so that a vehicle travels along a target path, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory including at least one computer-executable program that upon execution causes the at least one processor to:
- allow a driver to intervene in steering;
- and
- when the driver intervenes in steering and thereby a traveling position of the vehicle deviates outside from a threshold line set apart from the target path in a lane width direction, increase a steering reaction force acting on steering operation by the driver.
