See full text

A control device capable of moving a vehicle in a direction with an angle larger than at least the maximum steering angle of wheels. When the wheels (2) are brought into a parallel movement arrangement as shown in FIG. 3(a) and rotatingly driven according to the depressed amount of an accelerator pedal (53), the wheels (2) are slippingly moved on a road surface. Thus, while the vehicle forward component of a drive force generated by the right and left front wheels (2FR) and (2FL) and the vehicle rearward component of a drive force generated by the right and left rear wheels (2RR) and (2RL) balance each other out, the vehicle rightward component of a drive force generated by the right and left front wheels (2FR) and (2FL) and the vehicle rightward component of a drive force generated by the right and left rear wheels (2RR) and (2RL) act as a drive force for moving the vehicle (1) rightward. As a result, the vehicle (1) can be moved, in parallel, in the right side direction of the vehicle.
