Abstract: A remote-controlled motor-driven vehicle responsive to a control signal transmitted by a portable transmitter carried by a moving individual for transporting a load at a predetermined distance behind the individual has an improved control system which includes a receiver for detecting the transmitted signal and developing therefrom a range signal representative of the distance between the individual and the vehicle and bearing signal representative of the heading of the vehicle relative to the individual. A motor control circuit is responsive to the application of the range and bearing signals for controlling the speed and direction of said vehicle. A detector is coupled to the receiver and is responsive to the reception of the control signal for developing an actuating signal. A switching circuit is coupled between the receiver and the motor control circuit and is responsive to the actuating signal for causing the motor control circuit to first respond to the bearing signal and then respond to the range signal to thus sequentially steer the vehicle in the proper direction and then move the vehicle to the desired distance behind the individual.

Abstract: A charge control system includes a lithium battery configured to provide lithium battery power to a set of electrical loads, a user signaling device, and control circuitry coupled with the lithium battery and the user signaling device. The control circuitry is operative to: (A) detect availability of charge from an external charger, (B) in response to detection of the availability of charge from the external charger and prior to controlling the external charger to adjust the amount of charge stored by the lithium battery, perform a set of pre-charging assessment operations, and (C) based on the set of pre-charging assessment operations, provide a user notification via the user signaling device, the user notification indicating whether the lithium battery is properly setup for charge adjustment. When the user signaling device generates the user notification, the user is informed that the utility vehicle is properly connected to the external charger.

Abstract: A self-driving vehicle includes a plurality of operation members for the driver to operate and a controller. The plurality of operation members includes a steering operation member, a brake operation member, and an accelerating operation member. The controller has, as control modes thereof, an automatic operation mode and a manual operation mode. The operation member that is predefined as a trigger for the shift from the automatic operation mode to the manual operation mode differs depending on states of the vehicle in the automatic operation mode. The self-driving vehicle enables the driver to shift the control mode from the automatic operation mode to the manual operation mode with a simple operation.
