VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240294193 titled 'VEHICLE
The abstract describes a patent application for a vehicle that can be equipped with an autonomous driving kit (ADK). The vehicle includes a vehicle platform (VP) that controls the vehicle based on instructions from the ADK, as well as a vehicle control interface that connects the ADK to the VP. The VP can receive deceleration requests from both the driver and the ADK, and during autonomous mode, it combines these requests to determine the target deceleration of the vehicle.
- The vehicle is designed to accommodate an autonomous driving kit (ADK).
- It includes a vehicle platform (VP) that controls the vehicle based on instructions from the ADK.
- A vehicle control interface serves as a connection between the ADK and the VP.
- The VP can receive deceleration requests from the driver and the ADK.

Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle is a vehicle on which an autonomous driving kit (adk) is mountable. the vehicle includes: a vehicle platform (vp) that controls the vehicle in accordance with an instruction from the adk; and a vehicle control interface that serves as an interface between the adk and the vp. the vp receives a driver deceleration request in accordance with an amount of depression of a brake pedal by a driver, and receives a system deceleration request from the adk through the vehicle control interface. during an autonomous mode, the vp specifies the sum of the driver deceleration request and the system deceleration request as a target deceleration of the vehicle.
