## Abstract

VCIB executes a process including a step of determining whether or not a Wake command has been received, a step of determining whether or not the shift lever is parking, a step of determining whether or not the vehicle speed is 0 km/h, a step of determining whether or not the vehicle speed is the automatic mode, and a step of setting the power supply command to “No Request” when the shift lever is not parking, the vehicle speed is not 0 km/h, or the automatic mode.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vehicle comprising:
an autonomous driving system that performs autonomous driving of the vehicle;
a vehicle platform capable of receiving a command related to the autonomous driving from the autonomous driving system, wherein:
the vehicle platform includes a base vehicle including a plurality of control devices and a vehicle control interface that interfaces between the vehicle platform and the autonomous driving system; and
the vehicle control interface deactivates a part of the control devices of the vehicle platform during execution of the autonomous driving, and disables a wake command when the wake command is received from the autonomous driving system, the wake command requesting a transition to a power mode in which the vehicle control interface is activated.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein when the base vehicle receives the wake command from the vehicle control interface, the base vehicle activates the vehicle control interface and a body system control device, among the control devices, and deactivates another control device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein:
the vehicle further includes an operation member that receives an operation to switch between activation of the vehicle and deactivation of the vehicle; and
when the operation member receives an operation to deactivate the vehicle, the vehicle platform assumes that the wake command has been received, and activates the vehicle control interface and a body system control device, among the control devices, and deactivates another control device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein when the wake command is received when a shift position is a parking position, while the vehicle is stationary, and during execution of manual driving in which the base vehicle is operable by a user, the vehicle platform activates a body system control device, among the control devices, and deactivates another control device.
