US Patent 11320824 Vehicle

A vehicle including: a sliding door configured to block an opening provided in a vehicle body when in a closed state, a trajectory of sliding movement of the sliding door overlapping a trajectory of turning of a steered wheel; a steering mechanism configured to turn the steered wheel; a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to: control the steering mechanism in order to perform autonomous driving, and control the steering mechanism prior to the vehicle stopping so as to adjust a steering angle of the steered wheel, such that the steered wheel moves out of the trajectory of the sliding door in a case in which the steered wheel is within the trajectory of the sliding door during autonomous driving.
