There are provided a regeneration control method for a vehicle and a straddle-type vehicle which is an example of the vehicle. The regeneration control method is executed in a processing circuitry of the vehicle including an electric motor as a drive source, and the regeneration control method includes: determining whether a start condition of regeneration control for requesting the electric motor to generate a regenerative torque is satisfied; acquiring a degree of decrease in an accelerator operation amount with lapse of time before start of the regeneration control; and determining a required regenerative torque, which is the regenerative torque required for the electric motor, based on the degree of decrease in the accelerator operation amount.

A battery electric vehicle having an electric motor as a drive source, the battery electric vehicle includes a processor configured to reproduce characteristics of a plurality of kinds of virtual mobilities different from the battery electric vehicle, wherein the processor is configured to execute reading information on designating at least one of the virtual mobilities from a medium different from the battery electric vehicle, and reproducing a characteristic of one virtual mobility designated by the information acquired from the medium without requesting a user of the battery electric vehicle to select one of the virtual mobilities.

Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to speed control in an autonomous vehicle. For example, an autonomous vehicle may include a user interface which allows the driver to input speed preferences. These preferences may include the maximum speed above the speed limit the user would like the autonomous vehicle to drive when other vehicles are present and driving above or below certain speeds. The other vehicles may be in adjacent or the same lane the vehicle, and need not be in front of the vehicle.
