Driving skill judging apparatus, variable steering apparatus, vehicle and driving skill judging method
First Claim
1. A driving skill judging apparatus for a vehicle comprising:
- a steering angle detecting section configured to detect a steering angle of the vehicle;
a high order function calculating section configured to calculate a high order function of a third order or more, and which is for approximating a transition state of the steering angle based on the steering angle detected by the steering angle detecting section; and
a skill judging section configured to judge a driving skill based on a comparative result between a transition state of the steering angle detected by the steering angle detecting section and the high order function calculated by the high order function calculating section.
