An electromechanical brake booster for a braking system of a vehicle. The electromechanical brake booster includes: an electric motor; at least one linearly movable piston component; a transmission device via which the electric motor is connected to the piston component so that a motor force of the electric motor can be transmitted to the piston component via the transmission device; a transmission housing component which at least partially surrounds the transmission device; at least one connecting rod to which the linearly movable piston component is connected in such a way that the piston component, which is linearly moved via the transmitted motor force, is guided via the connecting rod; an intermediate plate, which is produced as a component which is separate from the transmission housing component, wherein the connecting rod is fastened to the intermediate plate, and the intermediate plate is fastened to the transmission housing component.

An autonomous driving system for a vehicle (e.g. a racing car) is installed in the space normally allocated to a human driver and is attached to the pre-existing anchor points used for structures that are no longer needed once a human is no longer required, such as the crash protection anchor points. The autonomous driving system enables AI and robotics technology to be seamlessly integrated into existing high-performance race car designs without requiring significant design modifications to the vehicle. This invention enables a new era of motorsport, where for example human drivers in a Formula One car can compete against the same car controlled by an autonomous driving system, because the design integrity of all cars remain identical.

In a pedal device, a pedal is attached to a housing, and a reaction force generating unit is configured to apply a reaction force to the pedal against a load given by a braking operation due to elastic deformation when the posture of the pedal changes from a reference position in a first direction by the braking operation, and to restore a position of the pedal to the reference position by the reaction force when the braking operation is released. A pedal restoring unit is provided in parallel with the reaction force generating unit, and configured to be elastically deformed according to a change amount in the posture of the pedal, and to apply a restoring force to the pedal to bring the position of the pedal closer to the reference position by changing the posture of the pedal in the second direction when the braking operation is released.

In a brake pedal device, a brake pedal is connected to a casing with a posture changeable by a brake operation of a driver, and includes an operation unit that is pressed by a driver. A reaction force generating unit is provided inside the casing, and the reaction force generating unit is configured to generate a reaction force with respect to the brake pedal in accordance with an amount of change in the posture of the brake pedal during the brake operation, and to cause the brake pedal to return to a reference position when the brake operation is released. A sensor unit is provided outside the casing, to detect an amount of change in the posture of the brake pedal, and a sensor protector is provided at the casing in a position away from the brake pedal, to cover at least a part of the sensor unit.
