This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243398 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM, AND VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
Abstract
The patent application describes a vehicle that has multiple drive assist devices to perform various drive assist functions. One of the drive assist devices, called the first drive assist device, is equipped with an update information generation device that generates update information to update the steering control at a specific point. Another drive assist device, called the second drive assist device, does not have the update information generation device. The first drive assist device generates the update information when it receives a notification allowing the update, and the second drive assist device receives the update information from the first drive assist device when it receives the notification.
Bullet Points

Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle comprises a plurality of drive assist devices configured to implement a plurality of drive assist functions, respectively. The plurality of drive assist devices includes a first drive assist device, which includes an update information generation device configured to generate update information to update a middle point in steering control performed by at least one of the drive assist devices, and a second drive assist device which does not include the update information generation device. The update information generation device in the first drive assist device generates the update information when the first drive assist device receives a notification that permits updating the middle point. The second drive assist device receives the update information from the first drive assist device when the second drive assist device receives the notification.
