Abstract:
A vehicle is configured to assist parking at a predetermined position by generating a path to the predetermined position and changing, based on the path, at least a vehicle wheel angle of a steered wheel. The vehicle includes: at least one steered wheel; at least one driven wheel; a power unit configured to provide a driving force to the driven wheel; and an operation device configured to receive at least an operation of changing power of the power unit. Before the predetermined position on the path, the vehicle wheel angle of the steered wheel is changed based on the path. If the vehicle travels beyond the predetermined position of the path, the vehicle wheel angle of the steered wheel is changed to allow the vehicle to advance in a tangential direction of the predetermined position of the path.
