Original Abstract Submitted

the vehicle includes a prime mover, a propeller shaft that transmits a rotational output, a first drive wheel that transmits a rotational output without passing through the propeller shaft, a second drive wheel transmitted through the propeller shaft, a torque distribution unit, and a transmission device. the control device of the vehicle has an autonomous driving mode and a manual driving mode, when changing a gear ratio of the transmission device, the control device controls the torque distribution unit in such a manner that an amount of torque distribution transmitted to the second drive wheel becomes smaller than when the gear ratio of the transmission device is constant, and the amount of torque distribution transmitted to the second drive wheel when changing the gear ratio in the manual driving mode is smaller than the amount of torque distribution when changing the gear ratio in the autonomous driving mode.
