1. A vehicle comprising:
a vehicle platform on which an autonomous driving system is mountable, wherein
the vehicle platform includes a shift device configured to switch a shift range of the vehicle and a control device configured to control the shift device,
the autonomous driving system sends to the vehicle platform a first command to request to switch the shift range to another,
the first command is set to any one of a first value indicating no request, a second value requesting a shift to a reverse range, and a third value requesting a shift to a drive range,
the autonomous driving system obtains a first signal indicating a state of an autonomous mode or a manual mode and a second signal indicating a moving direction of the vehicle,
when the first signal indicates the autonomous mode, the second signal does not indicate a standstill, and the first command does not indicate the first value, the control device controls the shift device not to perform a shift change required by the first command,
when the first signal indicates the autonomous mode, the second signal indicates a standstill, and the first command indicates the first value, the control device controls the shift device not to perform the shift change required by the first command,
when the first signal indicates the autonomous mode, the second signal indicates a standstill, and the first command indicates the second value, the control device controls the shift device to the switch the shift range to the reverse range, and
when the first signal indicates the autonomous mode, the second signal indicates a standstill, and the first command indicates the third value, the control device controls the shift device to the switch the shift range to the drive range.
