Abstract: A driving assistance device includes a sensor configured to detect a moving object ahead of a target vehicle and obstacles including a first obstacle and a second obstacle, and a control device. The control device is configured to determine whether the second obstacle is present. The second obstacle is located opposite to a traveling lane of the target vehicle with respect to the first obstacle in a lateral direction and forces the moving object to move in the lateral direction toward the traveling lane due to collaborative action with the first obstacle. The first obstacle hinders the moving object from moving in a longitudinal direction. The control device is configured to relax an execution condition of steering assistance for detouring around the moving object in a case where the second obstacle is present rather than in a case where the second obstacle is not present.

Abstract: An automated steering device is provided usable in conjunction with power equipment machines. By way of example, the automated steering device can provide user-assisted steering for a power equipment machine to maintain tight parallel paths. The user-assisted steering can be defined relative to an initial vector traversed through user directed operation of the power equipment machine, independent of or at least in part independent of a predefined area of operation for the power equipment machine. Position location data refined by local terrestrial positioning system correction devices, or onboard rotational correction devices can be provided to obtain high positioning accuracy, and minimal path deviation. As a result, highly accurate pathing can be provided by way of the disclosed automated steering devices.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for controlling a lighting device for a steering wheel. The system includes the lighting device mounted on the steering wheel and configured to be selectively turned on in order to indicate left/right directions of a vehicle, and a controller configured, upon receiving a request for turning on of the lighting device, to control turn-on operation of the lighting device such that left/right lighting directions of the lighting device are identical to the left/right directions of the vehicle when the angular position of the steering wheel is within a first steering angle range encompassing a steering angle neutral position and such that the left/right lighting directions of the lighting device are opposite the left/right directions of the vehicle when the angular position of the steering wheel is within an inverted steering angle range vertically inverted from the normal steering angle range.

Abstract: A vehicular trailer guidance system includes a human machine interface provided in the vehicle and operable by a driver of the vehicle during a backing up maneuver of the vehicle with a trailer hitched thereto. The human machine interface comprises a rotary knob and operates (i) in a backing up trailer left-backup mode when rotated counter-clockwise, (ii) in a backing up trailer straight-backup mode when the rotary knob is pushed or pulled and (iii) in a backing up trailer right-backup mode when rotated clockwise. Responsive to selection by the driver of the backup mode, the system sets a desired trailer angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle to an angle that is commensurate with a driver-selected setting of the rotary knob. The system controls steering of the vehicle to back up the trailer to have the determined trailer angle coincide with the set desired trailer angle.

Abstract: Disclosed are a clutch mechanism, a steering system, and an automobile. The clutch mechanism includes a slidable block and a driving component. The slidable block can be accommodated in a radial spacing between a first end shaft and a second end shaft that are coaxially arranged and radially spaced apart from each other, and is configured to translate along an axial direction of the first end shaft and the second end shaft to realize decoupling or coupling between the first end shaft and the second end shaft. The driving component is configured to drive the slidable block to translate along the axial direction of the first end shaft and the second end shaft.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for adjusting steering angle and articulation angle in an auto steering operation of a work vehicle. The percentage of travel of an articulation joystick of the work vehicle at least partially determines an articulation desired angle change, which can be used to calculate an articulation desired angle and a steering desired angle change. The difference between the articulation desired angle and an articulation angle detected by an articulation angle sensor is used to adjust the articulation angle. The steering desired angle change can be used to calculate a steering desired angle. The difference between the steering desired angle and a steering angle detected by a steering angle sensor is used to adjust the steering angle.
