A turn signal switch according to the present invention includes: an operation lever that can be operated to swing along a first operation direction, operated in a pushing operation direction, and operated in a second operation direction that is linear and different from both the first operation direction and the pushing operation direction; and a contact part that switches between a conduction state and a non-conduction state in accordance with the operation. The operation lever is configured to, after one end of the operation lever is operated to swing along the first operation direction or operated in the pushing operation direction, be returned to a neutral position at which the operation lever is held when not operated and, when the one end of the operation lever is operated in the second operation direction, be held at a position at time of the operation.

A system of controlling an unmanned vehicle includes: a travel course data acquisition unit that acquires travel course data including blinker data for controlling a blinker provided in an unmanned vehicle; an operation data acquisition unit that acquires operation data of a blinker operation device provided in the unmanned vehicle; and a blinker control unit that controls the blinker based on the blinker data acquired by the travel course data acquisition unit when the operation data is acquired by the operation data acquisition unit at a time when the unmanned vehicle operates based on the travel course data.

A cancellation device for an automotive feature on a vehicle includes a lever to be manually moved relative to the vehicle from a first, neutral position to a second, non-neutral position to actuate the motor vehicle feature. The cancellation device also includes at least one magnet to move the lever back to the first, neutral position.

A cancellation device for an automotive feature on a vehicle includes a lever configured to be manually moved relative to the vehicle from a first, neutral position to a second, non-neutral position to actuate the automotive feature. The cancellation device also includes a detent pawl coupled to the lever such that the detent pawl moves with the lever, a detent spring configured to bias the detent pawl, a centering spring configured to bias the lever back to the first, neutral position, and a magnet configured to generate a force to hold the lever in the second, non-neutral position.

A lane-change assistance system for a motor vehicle performs a plurality of lane changes from the current lane to a target lane, which are required in order to follow a navigation system outputted route. The plurality of lane changes is performed in response to the lane-change assistance system ascertaining a triggering operation action by the driver, which indicates that the driver wants the lane-change assistance system to perform the plurality of lane changes.

An energy system for a vehicle system having a plurality of motors that may include a first power supply assembly that may also include a first battery assembly of a plurality of battery assemblies. The first power supply assembly also may include a first bus coupled to a first motor of the plurality of motors and coupled to the first battery assembly. A second power supply assembly may also be provided that includes a second battery assembly of the plurality of battery assemblies coupled to a second bus that is coupled to a second motor of the plurality of motors. A controller may also be provided that may be configured to vary conduction of electric current from the first battery assembly to the first motor by the first bus based on an operating condition of the second power supply assembly to provide a first input to the first motor that may be different than a second input provided to the second motor by the second battery assembly.

A lever switch for a vehicle that enables a driver to understand a function being performed without causing driving distraction. A lever switch for a vehicle mounted on a steering column has a video display formed along a horizontal direction of the vehicle, in which the video display displays a function assigned to an operation of the lever switch for a vehicle, for example, lighting of a turn signal by moving a light spot on the video display from left to right or right to left.
