    Abstract: In a vehicle, an amount of change of a turning angle of a turning mechanism to an amount of change of a steering angle of a steering input device is defined as a transfer ratio, the turning mechanism is rotationally driven by a turning drive unit, and a driver's body posture parameter is detected by a body posture parameter detector. An apparatus for steering the vehicle includes a controller that executes an automatic steering mode that determines a target value for the turning angle of the turning mechanism based on a travelling condition of the vehicle and/or information about a road on which the vehicle is travelling, and controls the turning mechanism to adjust the turning angle of the turning mechanism to the target value. A transfer ratio adjuster adjusts the transfer ratio in accordance with the body posture parameter during execution of the automatic steering mode.

    Abstract: A display apparatus mounted on a vehicle may comprise: a display device that is placed in a vehicle compartment of a vehicle configured to perform a cooperative driving mode in which a manual operation by a driver and an autonomous operation by an autonomous driving function cooperate with each other to control a driving of the vehicle; an acquisition section that is configured to acquire a degree of restriction applied to an autonomous operation torque controlled by the autonomous driving function in the cooperative driving mode in response to set of the degree of restriction according to a manual operation amount input by the driver; and a display control device that causes the display device to display a cooperative ratio of the manual operation and the autonomous operation in the cooperative driving mode based on the degree of restriction.

    Abstract: A position prediction unit calculates a predicted position which is a position of the vehicle on the map at a certain point of time after the present time based on the map. An assist calculation unit calculates an assist control amount of the steering operation based on the road shape at the predicted position which can be identified from the map. An operation amount acquisition unit acquires an operation amount of the steering. An adjustment unit adjusts the assist control amount according to the operation amount.

    Abstract: In a steering assistance apparatus mounted in a vehicle, a steering input device and a turning device differentiate at a transmission ratio that is a ratio of an amount of change in the turning angle to an amount of change in the steering angle. A turning device actuator actuates the turning device. A controller executes an automatic steering mode, in which the controller determines the turning angle based on at least one of a travel condition and travel path information of the vehicle and controls the turning device actuator so as to achieve the determined turning angle. If detecting an input variation from the steering input device during execution of the automatic steering mode, the controller changes the transmission ratio to a value less than the transmission ratio in the automatic steering mode and prioritizes a manual steering mode over the automatic steering mode.

    Abstract: In a drive assist system, a map data acquiring section acquires a forward road shape and a rearward road shape. The forward road shape represents a road shape at a forward position in front of a current position of an own vehicle on a road on which the own vehicle drives. The rearward road shape represents a road shape at a rearward position on the road. The rearward position is behind the forward position and in front of the current position of the own vehicle on the road. An assist control calculation section determines steering characteristics of the own vehicle at the target position located between the forward position and the rearward position based on the forward road shape and the rearward road shape, and adjusts a steering angle of the own vehicle on the basis of the determined steering characteristics of the own vehicle.
