Abstract

An electrified vehicle includes a drive device including a driving motor for traveling and a power storage device for exchanging electric power with the motor, a drive device that controls the drive device so as to travel by switching between the manual driving mode and the automated driving mode, and a control device that cuts the creep torque when the creep torque is satisfied when the creep torque is outputted from the motor. In the automatic operation mode, the control device relaxes the creep cut condition as compared with the manual operation mode.

Claims (7)

1 . An electrified vehicle comprising:

a drive device that includes a motor for travel and a power storage device that exchanges electric power with the motor; and

a control device that controls the drive device so as to travel by switching between a manual driving mode and an autonomous driving mode, cuts creep torque when a creep cut condition is met when the creep torque is output from the motor, and relaxes the creep cut condition in the autonomous driving mode compared to when in the manual driving mode,

wherein the control device controls the motor such that a vehicle speed reaches a target vehicle speed based on a present location of the vehicle when in the autonomous driving mode; and

wherein the creep cut condition is

a condition that the vehicle speed is equal to or less than a first vehicle speed and that a brake is on when in the manual driving mode, and

a condition that the target vehicle speed is equal to or less than a second vehicle speed that is equal to or more than the first vehicle speed when in the autonomous driving mode.
