Abstract: A vehicle control device is applied to a vehicle including at least a shift control system configured to switch a shift range. The vehicle control device is configured to control the vehicle to perform autonomous driving travel without depending on an operation of a driver in at least one driving operation. The vehicle control device includes a controller. The controller is configured to determine the propriety of travel by the autonomous driving travel according to a type of abnormality that occurs in the shift control system. The controller is configured to perform travel control of the vehicle according to the propriety of the travel by the autonomous driving travel.

Abstract: An operator is a momentary operator. An electronic control unit is configured to when the operator does not pass through any one of traveling operation positions while the operator is operated from an initial position to an neutral operation position and then returned to the initial position, and when the operator is continuously held at the neutral operation position for a first predetermined time or longer, change a shift range of an automatic transmission to the neutral range, and when the operator passes through at least one of the traveling operation positions while the operator is operated from the initial position to the neutral operation position and then returned to the initial position, prohibit a change of the shift range to the neutral range even when the operator is continuously held at the neutral operation position for the first predetermined time or longer.

Abstract: An upper-limit vehicle speed should be prevented from being set to speed different from an intention of a driver. When it is detected that a speed limit is changed, an upper-limit vehicle speed setting ECU temporarily switches a control mode from a normal mode to an inquiry mode. An ASL operation unit serves a function for a change operation of upper-limit vehicle speed in the normal mode, and serves a function for a reply operation about whether the speed limit is accepted in the inquiry mode. When the ASL operation unit is operated in the normal mode, the upper-limit vehicle speed setting ECU does not switch the control mode to the inquiry mode, even if a change of a speed limit is detected, until a certain period of time (a certain period during which a mode switching prohibition period is set) has passed since the operation.

Abstract: A speed limit value that is set for a road where a vehicle is travelling is used to limit a driving force of the vehicle. If a new speed limit value is acquired, which differs from a currently used speed limit value, and the vehicle is in a state where the driving force is limited based on the currently used speed limit value, a switching screen page enabling an occupant of the vehicle to input a switching instruction to switch the speed limit value used to limit the driving force is displayed. Then, if the occupant inputs the switching instruction in response to the switching screen page being displayed, the speed limit value used to limit the driving force is switched to the new speed limit value.

Abstract: A communication apparatus according to the present disclosure is a communication apparatus included in a first vehicle, the communication apparatus including a communication interface and a controller. The communication interface communicates with a server. The controller detects a second vehicle located in a vicinity of the first vehicle. The controller generates positional information for the second vehicle based on a position of the first vehicle when the second vehicle is detected. The controller transmits the positional information for the second vehicle to the server via the communication interface, when the communication interface can communicate with the server. The controller stores the positional information for the second vehicle as unsent information for the first vehicle, when the communication interface cannot communicate with the server, and transmits the unsent information for the first vehicle to the server via the communication interface, when the communication interface becomes able to communicate with the server.

Abstract: A control device for a vehicle including (i) a power transmission device, (ii) a shift operation device that is to be operated by a driver of the vehicle to an operation position corresponding to a shift position of the power transmission device, and (iii) a switching device for switching the shift position of the power transmission device through actuation of an actuator. The control device is configured, upon occurrence of a momentary interruption of a control-device electric-power source that is supplied with an electric power from a vehicle electric-power source, to not perform an initial position learning process for setting a reference position of the actuator, until a shift switching operation for switching the shift position of the power transmission device is performed by a driver of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes: a brake control portion which is configured, when a vehicle is stopped, to cause a braking apparatus to keep a stopped state in which the vehicle is held stopped independently of operation of a brake pedal of the vehicle; a driver-assistance control portion which is configured to start a driver assistance operation in response to a manual operation made by the operator, and which is configured, when the stopped state is kept by the brake control portion, to withhold start of the driver assistance operation; and a withhold cancel portion which is configured, when a returning operation of the brake pedal has been made by the operator, to cause the driver-assistance control portion to cancel withhold of the start of the driver assistance operation.
