Abstract
A steering of a vehicle is controlled by acquiring a steering angle of the steering during the autonomous driving, and when the vehicle is autonomously stopped under a stop control at a boarding area and a stop steering angle of the steering after the stop control completes falls outside an allowable angle range including the steering angle when the vehicle travels straight, performing a reset control for the steering to return the stop steering angle to a specified steering angle within the allowable angle range. A linkage between the steering and a tire is disconnected when performing the reset control.
Claims13
A control device configured to control a steering of a vehicle that is configured perform autonomous driving, the control device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- acquire a steering angle of the steering during the autonomous driving;
- and
- when the vehicle is autonomously stopped under a stop control at a boarding area and a stop steering angle of the steering after the stop control completes falls outside an allowable angle range including the steering angle when the vehicle travels straight, perform a reset control for the steering to return the stop steering angle to a specified steering angle within the allowable angle range, wherein
- the processor is further configured to disconnect a linkage between the steering and a tire when performing the reset control.
A control method executed by a processor to control a steering of a vehicle that is configured to perform autonomous driving, the control method comprising:
- acquiring a steering angle of the steering the autonomous driving;
- and
- when the vehicle is autonomously stopped under a stop control at a boarding area and a stop steering angle of the steering after the stop control completes falls outside an allowable angle range including the steering angle when the vehicle travels straight, performing a reset control for the steering to return the stop steering angle to a specified steering angle within the allowable angle range, wherein
- the processor is further configured to disconnect a linkage between the steering and a tire when performing the reset control.
A computer readable non-transitory storage medium comprising a control program including instructions for controlling a steering of a vehicle that is configured to perform autonomous driving, the instructions configured to, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- acquire a steering angle of the steering during the autonomous driving;
- and
- when the vehicle is autonomously stopped under a stop control at a boarding area and a stop steering angle of the steering after the stop control completes falls outside an allowable angle range including the steering angle when the vehicle travels straight, perform a reset control for the steering to return the stop steering angle to a specified steering angle within the allowable angle range, wherein
- the processor is further configured to disconnect a linkage between the steering and a tire when performing the reset control.
