This invention provides an anti-slip floor mat with transparent top surface mainly includes a top surface, a PU self-skinning layer and an anti-slip layer stacked together in that order. The top surface is made of a transparent material. The PU self-skinning layer comprises foaming polyurethane and mainly formed by foaming an isocyanate with a polyether polyols intermixture, and the mass ratio of the isocyanate to the polyether polyols intermixture is 100:2050. A plurality of through holes passing through said anti-slip layer are defined in the anti-slip layer. A surface of said PU self-skinning layer adjacent to said anti-slip layer further comprises a plurality of rivets, said rivets pass through said through holes and extend to a surface of said anti-slip layer away from said PU self-skinning layer.

A grip force sensing and shape-changing steering wheel configured to serve as an intuitive means of communication between a human driver and automatic driving system or driver assist system.

A driving assistance apparatus to be applied to a vehicle includes a traveling state detector, an occupant monitoring detector, an emotion determination processor, an environment recognizer, and a driving assistance processor. The emotion determination processor determines an emotion of an occupant of the vehicle, based on outputs of the traveling state detector and the occupant monitoring detector. The driving assistance processor performs driving assistance control including one or both of information presentation to the occupant and traveling assistance control on the vehicle, in accordance with an output of one or more of the traveling state detector, the emotion determination processor, and the environment recognizer. The emotion determination processor determines multiple kinds of emotions less suitable for driving than a normal emotion. The driving assistance processor varies a control operation included in the driving assistance control, depending on a kind of the emotion determined by the emotion determination processor.

Provided is a vehicle control device capable of improving robustness against an attitude change of an occupant during preceding vehicle follow-up control in a straddle type vehicle such as a motorcycle. A vehicle control device 100 for a straddle type vehicle that controls a driving force during preceding vehicle follow-up control for causing an own vehicle to follow a preceding vehicle, in which the driving force (which is a control amount of the preceding vehicle follow-up control) is corrected according to an attitude (attitude change) of a driver detected by an attitude detection device 800 during the preceding vehicle follow-up control. Further, the driving force is corrected on the basis of the attitude, the driving torque of the own vehicle, and the acceleration of the own vehicle. In addition, the driving force (according to the attitude) is corrected from at least one of the own vehicle speed of the own vehicle, the target speed, the inter-vehicle distance between the own vehicle and the preceding vehicle, the target inter-vehicle distance, and the relative speed.
