VEHICLE SYSTEM

DRIVE January 26, 2023
Source
A vehicle system, including: a steering system; and a longitudinal-force application system including longitudinal-force application actuators configured to apply longitudinal forces respectively to one or more left-side wheels and one or more right-side wheels and a longitudinal-force controller configured to control the longitudinal-force application actuators to control the longitudinal forces applied respectively to the one or more left-side wheels and the one or more right-side wheels;, and an onboard power source device including a main power source and a secondary power source. When the main power source fails to supply electric power to the longitudinal-force application system and the steering system, the longitudinal-force controller controls the longitudinal-force application actuators to control a difference between the longitudinal force applied to the one or more left-side wheels and the longitudinal force applied to the one or more right-side wheels, thereby turning the vehicle.
