A control unit (40A) includes an operation state determination unit (43) that determines an operating state of a driving source (21) and a communication state determination unit (46) that determines a communication state between an authentication unit (2) and a remote key (4), and the control unit (40A) disables a starting of the driving source (21) by a driving source starting unit (21a) when the control unit (40A) is in an ON state, the operation state determination unit (43) determines that the driving source (21) is in a non-operating state, and the communication state determination unit (46) determines that communication with the remote key (4) is lost.

An opening/closing body opening/closing device includes: an opening/closing body; a closing mechanism; an opening/driving body driving section; a control section; and a position detection section. The closing mechanism includes an engaging portion, an engaged portion, a closing mechanism-side driving section, and an interaction detection section. The control section causes the closing mechanism-side driving section to perform closing driving and, after the closing driving, sets the engaging part to an open state so as to allow the closing mechanism to lock the opening/closing body through engagement between the engaging portion and the engaged portion when a positional difference between a current position and an engageable position of the opening/closing body is outside a predetermined range. Use of the opening/closing body opening/closing device makes a zero position of the opening/closing body settable in an originally supposed position even when the closing mechanism operates while the opening/closing body is in an improper position.

An autonomous vehicle includes an autonomously driven vehicle frame with a retractable pivot mechanism disposed on a platform surface of the vehicle frame. Changeable utility pods are configured to attach to and be removed from the vehicle frame by way of the retractable pivot mechanism onboard the frame, and autonomously change the vehicle from a passenger transport to a logistics transport by changing utility pods. A processor provides autonomous vehicle operations that include extending the retractable pivot mechanism from a retracted position recessed in the platform surface of the vehicle frame to an extended position that engages a utility pod conveyor channel. The retractable pivot mechanism engages a conveyor channel disposed on a mating surface of a utility pod, and conveys the utility pod along the conveyor channel to a centered and laterally-aligned position on the vehicle frame by rotating the pod into position once centered over the pivot mechanism.

A door arrangement contains a door for a room with a door leaf, a wall portion of a wall structure laterally adjacent to the door, and a locking arrangement for the door. The locking arrangement includes a locking device in the door leaf with a blocking element, which can be moved in and contrary to a blocking direction in order to block or release the door, and a lock actuator in the wall portion with a first mechanical actuating element, which is unconnected to the blocking element in order to shift the blocking element, by mechanical contact pressure, from the movement position into the blocking position and vice versa. A control and information system contains the door arrangement, a control device for the lock actuator, a human/machine interface, and a communication interface for an authorized body different from the user.
