Abstract

A combine harvester is a work vehicle capable of switching between a manual travel mode to travel based on operation of an operation tool including a steering wheel which is a turning operation tool and an autonomous traveling mode to travel based on a predetermined travel route, which includes a controller to function as an autonomous travel controller to control travel of the combine harvester through the autonomous travel mode based on the travel route. The combine harvester is switched from the autonomous travel mode to the manual travel mode without stopping the vehicle when the steering wheel is operated during the autonomous travel mode.
