VEHICLE DRIVING SYSTEM
Abstract:
A vehicle driving system to be provided in a vehicle includes a touch sensor and a control unit. The touch sensor is to be provided in the steering operation device and configured to measure a fluctuation in electrostatic capacitance. The control unit determines, based on information from the touch sensor, whether a driver of the vehicle is in a steering-holding state or in a non-steering-holding state. After a detection of a first fluctuation that is a fluctuation in the electrostatic capacitance occurring before a malfunction of the touch sensor, the control unit determines that the driver is in the non-steering-holding state even if the information from the touch sensor to the control unit indicates that the driver is in the steering-holding state.
