Apparatus for controlling run of a car, and car using the apparatus

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for controlling run of a car (1), the apparatus comprising a pedal (13) for controlling both of a braking force and a driving force of said car (1) depending on an operating amount or an operating force; a braking mechanism for braking wheels corresponding to said operating amount and said operating force of said pedal (13); a following distance detector for detecting a following distance; and a driving force control unit for controlling a driving force corresponding to a signal of said following distance detector. Further, a footrest function range and a driving force decreasing function range is provided in said operating amount or said operating force of said pedal (13), wherein a footrest function is realized when said operating amount or said operating force of said pedal (13) is within said footrest function range.
