Abstract: The vehicles are configured to be capable of mounting an ADK. The vehicle includes a ADK that executes vehicle control in accordance with a command from VP, and a VCIB that performs an interface between ADK and VP by communication through the main bus or through the sub-bus. When communication via the main bus is interrupted, VCIB starts communication via the sub bus, and thereafter, when communication via the main bus becomes possible prior to the elapse of the predetermined period, it starts communication via the main bus, and when the predetermined period elapses, it continues communication via the sub bus regardless of whether communication via the main bus is possible.

Abstract: VCIB executes a process including a step of determining whether a communication abnormality has occurred with an ADK, a step of determining whether there is a steering request of an ADK when it is determined that a communication abnormality has occurred with an ADK, and a step of invalidating a steering request of an ADK when it is determined that there is a steering request of an ADK.

Abstract: VP is configured to perform deceleration control when an anomaly occurs in communication between VCIB and ADK. VCIB is configured to receive a command from ADK whether to perform horn control that activates the horn of VP when the deceleration control is executed, or hazard warning lamp control that activates the hazard warning lamp of VP when the deceleration control is executed.
