Abstract
A vehicle control system includes a controller configured to determine whether a vehicle is operating in an autonomous driving mode or in a manual driving mode; and a steering device for adjusting a position of a wheel of the vehicle when the vehicle is operating in the manual driving mode. The steering device includes a knob configured to rotate about a rotation axis; a shaft connected to the knob, the shaft rotating about the rotation axis together with the knob by a rotational force transmitted from the knob; and an elastic part coupled to the shaft. In particular, when the shaft rotates from a reference position by the rotational force, the elastic part is compressed, and when the rotational force is removed, the elastic part is relaxed to return the shaft to the reference position.
Claims15
A vehicle control system having an autonomous driving system, comprising:
- a controller configured to determine whether a vehicle is operating in an autonomous driving mode or in a manual driving mode;
- and
- a steering device for adjusting a position of a wheel of the vehicle when the vehicle is operating in the manual driving mode,
- wherein the steering device comprises:
- a knob configured to rotate about a rotation axis;
- a shaft connected to the knob, such that the shaft rotates about the rotation axis with the knob by a rotational force transmitted from the knob;
- and
- an elastic part coupled to the shaft,
- wherein when the shaft rotates from a reference position by the rotational force, the elastic part is compressed, and when the rotational force is removed, the elastic part is relaxed to return the shaft to the reference position.

- a steering device for adjusting a position of a wheel of the vehicle when the vehicle is operating in the manual driving mode;
- and
- a transmission for selecting gear shifting stages of the vehicle,
- wherein the steering device comprises:
- a knob configured to rotate about a rotation axis and to adjust the position of the wheel;
- a shaft connected to the knob and rotated about the rotation axis together with the knob;
- and
- an elastic part coupled to the shaft,
- wherein when the shaft rotates from a reference position by a rotational force transmitted from the knob, the elastic part is compressed, and when the rotational force is removed, the elastic part is relaxed to rotate the shaft to the reference position.
