Abstract
A combine harvester is a work vehicle that pre-creates a plurality of travel routes parallel to a preset outline of a field and performs autonomous travel based on the travel routes, and includes a control device and a mobile terminal. The control device functions as the autonomous travel controller to control autonomous travel on the basis of the travel route. The mobile terminal is equipped with a terminal control device, and the terminal control device functions as the route adjustment controller that performs route adjustment control to adjust the outermost route when autonomously traveling on the outermost route that is along the outline of the field from among the plurality of travel routes.
