VEHICLE INPUT DEVICE

摘要

A vehicle input device has an operating part (150) arranged within the passenger compartment and a signal processing part (172) that processes signals input through the operating part (150). The device includes a movable support mechanism that supports the operating part (150) to move between a distant position away from an operator and a nearby position close to the operator, a motor (210) for generating a drive force to displace the operating part (150), a control part (174) for controlling the motor (210), and an operation intention detector (220) for detecting an operator's intention to operate the operating part (150). The control part (174) controls the motor (210) to displace the operating part (150) into the nearby position if the operator's operation intention is detected by the operation intention detector (220).
