Abstract
When a power status of a vehicle makes transition regardless of control by an autonomous driving system while the autonomous driving system is controlling a power mode of a vehicle platform, the autonomous driving system is notified that transition was caused by a driver input. A VP is configured such that an ADS is mountable thereon. The VP includes a base vehicle and a VCIB. The VCIB interfaces between the base vehicle and the ADS. Then, the VCIB provides a signal that indicates a driver input onto a start/stop button for switching between on and off of the base vehicle to the ADS.
