A fuel cell vehicle includes a travel prohibition control unit. In the case where a lid sensor detects an open state of a lid, the travel prohibition control unit performs travel prohibition control to prohibit travel of the fuel cell vehicle. In the case where the number of shift control operations has reached a release number within release time, the travel prohibition control unit releases the travel prohibition control, and in the case where the number of shift control operations has not reached the release number within the release time, the travel prohibition control unit continues the travel prohibition control. The release number is two or more.

An accelerator pedal system includes a pedal lever, a lock mechanism, an actuator, and an ECU. The pedal lever operates in accordance with a step-on operation. The lock mechanism is capable of restricting the operation of the pedal lever. The lock mechanism can switch a locked state in which the operation of the pedal lever is restricted by the lock mechanism and an unlocked state in which the operation of the pedal lever is free from restriction by the lock mechanism. The ECU includes a locking operation determination unit, an actuator control unit, and an information acquisition unit. The locking operation determination unit determines switching of a locking operation by the lock mechanism. The actuator control unit controls a driving operation of an actuator. The locking operation determination unit locks the pedal lever when the vehicle is traveling on a specific position in an automatic driving mode.

A system controls a stop function or a door opening function of a vehicle. The system includes an actuating element which is designed to generate an actuation signal depending on an actuation by a vehicle occupant, and a control device which is designed to receive the actuation signal and, in response to receiving the actuation signal and depending on a travel velocity of the vehicle, to trigger either the stop function or the door opening function.

An autonomous vehicle having a user interface and a computing system that is in communication with the user interface. The computing system may have at least one processor and at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions. When executed by the at least one processor, the instructions may cause the at least one processor to output information through the user interface to inform the passenger of an action that the passenger needs to enact prior to the autonomous vehicle beginning to move and determine, based upon an occurrence of the action that the passenger needs to enact, whether the autonomous vehicle is permitted to begin moving.

An in-vehicle apparatus (1) according to the present disclosure includes: estimated walking path acquisition means (21) for acquiring an estimated walking path, which is a path in which it is estimated that a driver will walk; and drinking determination means (22) for determining whether or not the driver is drunk based on a walking pattern of the driver in the estimated walking path.

A getting-off assistance device that includes a surrounding information acquisition device that acquires information about the surroundings of a vehicle and a control ECU that controls a notification device that notifies an alert to an occupant or occupants of the vehicle, and the control ECU is configured to start the notification of the alert when it is determined that it is dangerous for the occupant to get off the vehicle based on information acquired by the surrounding information acquisition device, end the notification of the alert when it is determined that it is no longer dangerous for the occupant to get off the vehicle, and change the alert so as to reduce annoyance of the alert given to the occupant or occupants when the number of times of the alerts after the door is finally opened is equal to or greater than a reference number of times.

A parking interlock system and method for a vehicle is provided. The system includes: a safety state information detecting unit, configured to detect safety state information of the vehicle; an operating state information detecting unit, configured to detect operating state information of the vehicle; a brake; a motor; a low voltage controller, connected to the safety state information detecting unit and the brake respectively, and configured to generate a safety state judgment result based on the safety state information of the vehicle; and a motor controller, connected to the safety state information detecting unit and the motor respectively, and configured to control the motor according to the safety state judgment result received from the low voltage controller, and to send the operating state information of the vehicle to the low voltage controller such that the low voltage controller controls the brake according to the operating state information.

When an ignition switch has been turned off, an accessory switch has been turned off, and a door has been opened (100, 102), a message is displayed in a monitor on an opposite side to a side that the door has been opened (112). In addition, when it has been detected that a key has been shut in or that it has been forgotten to close a window (104), there is performed a warning display that displays a warning in a monitor on an opposite side to a door where a door locking operation has been performed (110). Moreover, when there has been detected a smart key carried by an occupant on a vehicle outside after getting out of a vehicle (118), a message is displayed in a monitor on an opposite side to a key detection direction (120).
