1. A vehicle on which an autonomous driving system (ADS) is mountable, the vehicle comprising:
a vehicle platform (VP) that controls the vehicle in accordance with an instruction from the ADS; and
a vehicle control interface that serves as an interface between the ADS and the VP, wherein
the VP outputs, to the ADS through the vehicle control interface, a brake pedal position signal indicating an amount of depression of a brake pedal detected by a brake pedal position sensor,
the VP receives a first deceleration request in accordance with the brake pedal position signal, and receives a second deceleration request from the ADS through the vehicle control interface,
during an autonomous mode, the VP specifies a sum of the first deceleration request and the second deceleration request as a target deceleration of the vehicle,
the VP further outputs, to the ADS through the vehicle control interface, a brake pedal intervention signal generated in accordance with the brake pedal position signal, and
when the brake pedal position sensor failure occurs, the brake pedal intervention signal indicates a value in accordance with an invalid value beyond a predetermined range of the amount of depression of the brake pedal.
