The novelty of this invention is that the vehicle's two degrees of freedom in motion is controlled by a single action of a driver. With this method, a driver can control a vehicle easily and intuitively. This invention might make it possible for impaired people to drive vehicles at their will for the first time. First, a sensor unit of a vehicle detects the Cartesian coordinates (x, y) that are specified by the driver. Second, a computing unit of the vehicle converts the coordinates (x, y) into a desired translation speed and a desired rotation speed, or into a desired translation speed and a desired curvature. Third, the motion control unit of the vehicle controls its motion using the desired translation speed and rotation speed, or the translation speed and curvature. |
