An adjustable pedal for a motor vehicle. A pedal arm is mounted at a bearing block so as to be able to pivot around a pedal axis and which has an articulation point for coupling to a device that is to be actuated by the pedal. The articulation point is spaced apart from the pedal axis by a first lever arm length; a pedal base body, which is mounted at the pedal arm and can be adjusted in relation to the pedal arm; a pedal plate, which is arranged in a bearing point at the lower end of the pedal base body. The bearing point of the pedal plate is spaced apart from the pedal axis by a second lever arm length; and an adjusting unit.

A foldable pedal apparatus of an autonomous vehicle and a method for controlling an operation thereof, includes an accelerator pedal assembly generating an acceleration-related signal and a brake pedal assembly generating a brake-related signal during a driver's operation, in which in an autonomous driving mode, an accelerator pedal assembly and a brake pedal assembly move forward and are fixed to a position as they are combined with a front inclined surface of a footrest panel, and in a manual driving mode, they move and are fixed to a position where a driver can comfortably operate them, so that in case of switchover from the autonomous driving mode to the manual driving mode, the switchover to the manual driving mode becomes possible only in a state where all safety conditions for directivity of a driver's seat and positions of an accelerator pedal assembly and a brake pedal assembly are satisfied.

An automotive vehicle includes a body having a passenger compartment and at least one pedal box for controlling vehicle acceleration or braking. The pedal box is movably coupled to an interior structural point disposed within the passenger compartment and movable between first and second positions with respect to the structural point. At least one pedal, actuatable by an occupant, is coupled to the pedal box. The vehicle additionally includes an actuator operably coupled to the pedal box and configured to selectively move the pedal box between the first position and the second position. The vehicle further includes at least one controller. The controller is configured to, in response to satisfaction of a first operating condition, control the actuator to move the pedal box to the first position, and, in response to satisfaction of a second operating condition, control the actuator to move the pedal box to the second position.

The rudder bar includes two actuation arrangements, each provided with two pedals, each actuation arrangement having a frame provided with two rails arranged on either side of said frame and being in the form of a concave curve, and, associated with each one of said rails, a movable carriage, each one of said movable carriages bearing one of said pedals, each one of said movable carriages being configured such that it can be moved on the associated rail, for a direction command, under an action exerted by at least one foot of a pilot on at least one of said pedals.

The brake adjustment device positions the brake pedal according to user customization. A base secures to the braking system of the vehicle. An adjustable arm provides two ends, a first end that attaches to the base and a second end that attaches to the brake pedal. The attachment of the base and the adjustable arm adjusts to vary the distance between the attachment end of the base and the attachment end of the adjustable arm. Increasing the distance between the attachment end of the base and the attachment end of the adjustable arm raises the brake pedal. Decreasing the distance between the attachment end of the base and the attachment end of the adjustable arm lowers the brake pedal.

Method, apparatus, and computer readable media are disclosed for position control touchscreens for vehicles. An example vehicle includes a center console touchscreen for controlling vehicle settings, a seat, a seat motor coupled to the seat, a position control touchscreen adjacent to the seat for controlling seat settings, and a position adjuster communicatively coupled to the position control touchscreen. The position adjuster is to receive a seat adjustment command from the position control touchscreen and adjust the seat, via the seat motor, based on the seat adjustment command.
