Abstract:
To provide a vehicle having high operability and its control method. A vehicle includes a passenger seat on which a passenger rides on, a chassis that support the passenger seat, wheels that move the chassis, a force sensor that outputs a measurement signal according to a force exerted on a seat surface of the passenger seat, a drive unit that drives the passenger seat so as to change an angle of the seat surface of the passenger seat, and a control calculation unit that calculates a reference input used to drive the wheels and the drive unit based on a drive amount of the drive unit, a balanced position posture of the passenger seat, and the measurement signal from the force sensor.
