Patent attributes
A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes a misoperation prevention pad, an accelerator pedal pad and a brake pedal pad. In a manual driving mode in which a driver directly drives, the accelerator pedal pad and the brake pedal pad protrude and are exposed toward the driver and then enter into a popped-up state so that operation of the pedal pads by the driver may be performed. In an autonomous driving situation, the accelerator pedal pad and the brake pedal pad are hidden and then enter into a hidden state in which exposure toward the driver is blocked so that the operation of the accelerator pedal pad and the brake pedal pad by the driver is unable to be performed. Furthermore, the misoperation prevention pad is provided between the accelerator pedal pad and the brake pedal pad.
