FOLDABLE PEDAL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17699883 titled 'FOLDABLE PEDAL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a foldable pedal apparatus for vehicles that allows the pedal pads to be rotated in different positions based on the driving mode. In manual driving mode, the pedal pads are rotated rearwards and become accessible to the driver. In autonomous driving mode, the pedal pads are rotated forwards and hidden from the driver's reach.

  • The pedal apparatus allows for the rotation of pedal pads in vehicles.
  • In manual driving mode, the pedal pads are rotated rearwards and can be used by the driver.
  • In autonomous driving mode, the pedal pads are rotated forwards and become nonmanipulable by the driver.
  • The foldable design of the pedal apparatus allows for easy transition between driving modes.

Potential Applications

  • Automotive industry
  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Vehicle manufacturing companies

Problems Solved

  • Ensures driver safety by preventing access to the pedals in autonomous driving mode.
  • Provides convenience and accessibility to the driver in manual driving mode.
  • Allows for a seamless transition between manual and autonomous driving modes.

Benefits

  • Improved safety for autonomous driving by preventing driver interference with the pedals.
  • Enhanced driver comfort and control in manual driving mode.
  • Simplified design and functionality for the pedal apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

A foldable pedal apparatus for vehicles is provided in which pedal pads are rotated rearwards from a footrest panel and thus enter a pop-up state to be manipulable by a driver in a manual driving mode in which the driver directly drives a vehicle. The pedal pads are rotated forwards maximally close to the front surface of the footrest panel and thus enter a hidden state without exposure to be nonmanipulable by the driver in an autonomous driving situation.
