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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17699937 titled 'FOLDABLE PEDAL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle that can be used in both manual and autonomous driving modes. The pedal assemblies can be rotated rearwards and popped up to be operated by the driver in manual driving mode. In autonomous driving mode, the pedal assemblies can be rotated forwards and upwards to enter a hidden state, preventing the driver from operating them.

  • Pedal assemblies can be rotated rearwards and popped up for manual driving mode.
  • Pedal assemblies can be rotated forwards and upwards to enter a hidden state in autonomous driving mode.

Potential Applications

  • Automotive industry
  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Vehicle manufacturing

Problems Solved

  • Ensures proper functionality of pedals in manual driving mode.
  • Prevents driver interference with pedals in autonomous driving mode.

Benefits

  • Versatile pedal apparatus suitable for both manual and autonomous driving modes.
  • Enhanced safety by preventing driver interference in autonomous driving mode.
  • Efficient use of space by folding the pedal assemblies.


Original Abstract Submitted

A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes pedal assemblies including pedal arms and pedal pads that are rotated rearwards and are thus popped up to a driver so as to be operated by the driver in a manual driving mode in which the driver directly drives a vehicle. Also, the pedal assemblies including the pedal arms and the pedal pads may be rotated forwards and upwards, so as to be located close to a front surface of a footrest panel and thus enter a hidden state in which exposure of the pedal assemblies to the driver is interrupted so as not to be operated by the driver in an autonomous driving situation.
