To provide an appropriate interface between an automatic operation system and a vehicle platform.SOLUTION: A vehicle 1 is enabled to incorporate an ADK 3. The vehicle 1 includes: a VP 5 for controlling the vehicle in accordance with an instruction from the ADK 3; and a VCIB 41 for interfacing between the ADK 3 and VP 5. The VP 5 outputs, to the ADK 3 via the VCIB 41, an accelerator pedal position signal in accordance with a step-on amount of an accelerator pedal 560 by a driver, and an accelerator pedal interference signal. In a case where the accelerator pedal position signal represents that the step-on amount is larger than a threshold, the accelerator pedal interference signal indicates that the accelerator pedal is stepped on. In a case where an acceleration requirement in accordance with the step-on amount is higher than a system acceleration requirement, the accelerator pedal interference signal indicates that the vehicle 1 is exceeding automatic acceleration.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】自動運転システムと車両プラットフォームとの間に適切なインターフェースを提供する。【解決手段】車両１は、ＡＤＫ３を搭載可能な車両である。車両１は、ＡＤＫ３からの指令に従って車両を制御するＶＰ５と、ＡＤＫ３とＶＰ５との間のインターフェースを行うＶＣＩＢ４１とを備える。ＶＰ５は、ドライバによるアクセルペダルの踏込量に応じたアクセルペダル位置信号と、アクセルペダル介入信号とをＶＣＩＢ４１を介してＡＤＫ３に出力する。アクセルペダル介入信号は、踏込量が閾値よりも大きいことをアクセルペダル位置信号が表す場合には、アクセルペダル５６０が踏み込まれたことを表す。アクセルペダル介入信号は、踏込量に応じた加速要求がシステム加速要求よりも高い場合には、車両１の自動加速超過を表す。【選択図】図４
