Either a mode in which a vehicle travels with an electric motor or a mode in which the vehicle travels with an internal combustion engine is selected based on information on a fee when the vehicle is caused to travel with the electric motor and information on a fee when the vehicle is caused to travel with the internal combustion engine.

A control device for a hybrid vehicle is provided with a driving plan preparing part preparing a driving plan setting one or more via-points on a projected route from a starting point to a destination to divide the projected route into a plurality of driving routes and divide the driving routes further into pluralities of driving sections and setting which driving mode of an EV mode or HV mode to drive over in each driving section and with a driving mode switching part switching the driving modes according to a driving plan. The driving plan preparing part is configured to be able to prepare a driving plan setting the driving modes of all driving sections in at least one driving route to the EV mode.

A control apparatus for an electrically-operated vehicle that includes an electric motor serving as one of at least one drive power source. The control apparatus includes a vibration-suppression control portion configured to execute a vibration suppression control for causing the electric motor to output a vibration suppression torque by which vibration of the electrically-operated vehicle is to be suppressed. The vibration-suppression control portion is configured to determine whether the electrically-operated vehicle is in a towing state in which the electrically-operated vehicle runs while towing a towed vehicle, or not, and is configured to make a vibration suppression capacity of the vibration suppression control higher when determining that the electrically-operated vehicle is in the towing state, than when determining that the electrically-operated vehicle is not in the towing state.

A driving assist device includes a driving assist controller. The driving assist controller includes an oncoming vehicle detection unit, a prediction determination unit, a predicted travel region setting unit and a stop controller. The oncoming vehicle detection unit is configured to, when a vehicle enters an intersection, determine whether an oncoming vehicle going to enter the intersection is present. The prediction determination unit is configured to, when the oncoming vehicle detection unit determines that the oncoming vehicle is going to enter the intersection, determine whether a course of the oncoming vehicle is predictable based on vehicle behavior of the oncoming vehicle. The predicted travel region setting unit is configured to set a predicted travel region of the oncoming vehicle based on the vehicle behavior. The stopping controller is configured to cause the vehicle to stop outside of the predicted travel region set by the predicted travel region setting unit.

A vehicle control interface includes a control unit configured to: connect between a vehicle platform including a first computer that performs travel control of a vehicle and an automated-driving platform including a second computer that performs automated-driving control of the vehicle and acquire a first control command containing an instruction for the vehicle platform from the second computer; convert the first control command to a second control command for the first computer; and send the second control command to the first computer. The control unit is configured to send, to the second computer, a specifiable range of a physical quantity that is specified by the second computer via the first control command.

A drive mode switch control device acquires operation information. The drive mode switch control device switches a drive state among at least an autonomous drive state, a manual drive state, and a coordination drive state. The operation detection unit detects a first operation and a second operation based on the operation information when the drive state is not in the manual drive state. The second operation is the drive operation different from the first operation and input after the input of the first operation. The drive mode switch control device switches the drive state from the autonomous drive state to the coordination drive state based on a detection determination of the first operation. The drive mode switch control device switches the drive state from the coordination drive state to the manual drive state based on a detection determination of the first operation.
