This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18299109 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle control device that restricts the reaction force added to an accelerator pedal of a driver's vehicle under specific conditions.
- The device includes a memory and a processor.
- The processor is connected to the memory and is responsible for controlling the reaction force.
- A reaction force add section is configured to add reaction force to the accelerator pedal.
- The reaction force is added when the driver's vehicle continues to travel under a specific condition for a fixed period of time or longer.
- The purpose of this control is to limit the acceleration of the vehicle in certain situations.
- The device aims to improve safety and prevent excessive acceleration in specific driving conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle control device comprises a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to restrict reaction force added to an accelerator pedal of a driver's vehicle by a reaction force add section configured to add reaction force to the accelerator pedal of the driver's vehicle in a case in which traveling of the driver's vehicle under a specific condition continues for a fixed period of time or greater.
