Abstract
A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes an accelerator pedal module and a brake pedal module that are operated in a pressure-manipulated type are popped up to allow manipulation by a driver in a manual driving mode, and hide to prevent manipulation by the driver in a autonomous driving mode, to generate a signal related to a pedal function by manipulation of the accelerator pedal module and the brake pedal module.
Claims20
A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle, the foldable pedal apparatus comprising:
- an accelerator pedal module and a brake pedal module provided on a foot rest panel to be rotatable in leftward and rightward directions, and configured to generate signals related to pedal functions thereof in response to manipulation of a driver,
- wherein when the accelerator pedal module and the brake pedal module are rotated to be inserted into a pedal groove formed in the foot rest panel, the accelerator pedal module and the brake pedal module are in a hidden state to prevent manipulation of the accelerator pedal module and the brake pedal module by the driver, and when the accelerator pedal module and the brake pedal module are rotated to be projected from the pedal groove, the accelerator pedal module and the brake pedal module are in a popped-up state to allow manipulation of the accelerator pedal module and the brake pedal module by the driver.
A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle, the foldable pedal apparatus comprising:
- an accelerator pedal module and a brake pedal module provided on a foot rest panel to be rotatable in leftward and rightward directions, and configured to generate signals related to pedal functions thereof in response to manipulation of a driver,
- when the accelerator pedal module and the brake pedal module are switched from a hidden state into a popped-up state, the accelerator pedal module is rotated rightward to be switched into the popped-up state and the brake pedal module is rotated leftward to be switched into the popped-up state, and the accelerator pedal module and the brake pedal module in the popped-up state are spaced from each other.
