    Abstract: A steering system which is capable of being controlled by a redundant brake system, which includes a primary brake control module, a secondary brake control module, and a plurality of brake units controlled by the primary brake control module or the secondary brake control module. There is at least one hydraulic motor connected to a component of the steering system, and the fluid pressure in the hydraulic motor is controlled by the secondary brake control module. The wheels of the steering system are configured to make a right-hand turn when the secondary brake control module operates the hydraulic motor during a first mode of operation, and the wheels of the steering system are configured to make a left-hand turn when the secondary brake control module operates the hydraulic motor during a second mode of operation.

    Abstract: An autonomous travelling vehicle that autonomously travels based on surrounding information includes an information processing unit that processes surrounding information obtained, a control unit that controls driving of the autonomous travelling vehicle based on the surrounding information, a surrounding information acquisition sensor that obtains surrounding information for the travelling direction of the car body, and a blind area determining unit that determines a blind area around the car body not covered by the surrounding information acquisition sensor. When the autonomous travelling vehicle travels in a blind area at the start of travel, the control unit controls the autonomous travelling vehicle so as to travel at a speed lower than a preset normal speed.

    Abstract: A vehicle speed control apparatus is configured to determine, based on an automatic brake duration time and a vehicle speed reduction amount, whether to suppress a brake force due to an automatic brake control, the automatic brake duration time being from an automatic brake control starting timing to a current time point, the vehicle speed reduction amount corresponding to a value obtained by subtracting a vehicle speed at the current time point from the vehicle speed at the automatic brake control starting timing.
