Abstract
The vehicle includes a vehicle control interface box that relays control communication between the autonomous driving kit and the braking function unit. The vehicle control interface box is configured to output a brake pedal intervention signal of a value in accordance with a braking operation received by a brake pedal to the autonomous driving kit, and when a requested deceleration by a braking instruction becomes larger than a first threshold value, in a determination period until a first period elapses, prohibit outputting of the brake pedal intervention signal of a specific value indicating that the braking operation is performed to the autonomous driving kit.
Claims5
A vehicle configured to enable autonomous driving through an autonomous driving kit that is attachable and detachable and that issues an instruction for autonomous driving, the vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle platform;
- a brake pedal configured to receive a braking operation of a driver of the vehicle platform;
- a driving assistance system configured to assist the driver in braking the vehicle;
- a braking function unit configured to brake the vehicle platform in accordance with the braking operation received by the brake pedal, and a braking instruction from the autonomous driving kit or the driving assistance system;
- and
- a vehicle control interface box configured to relay control communication between the autonomous driving kit and the braking function unit, wherein:
- the vehicle control interface box is configured to
- output, to the autonomous driving kit, a brake pedal intervention signal of a value corresponding to the braking operation received by the brake pedal, and
- prohibit outputting a brake pedal intervention signal of a specific value indicating that the braking operation is performed to the autonomous driving kit, in a determination period after a requested deceleration by the braking instruction exceeds a first threshold value and until a first period has elapsed.
