An automatic vehicle driving device (1) including a transmission actuator unit (131) and pedal actuators (41) is supported as a whole by a frame (11) and legs (12). The frame (11) extends obliquely downward from a seat back abutting part (22) located at an upper end of the frame (11) toward a vehicle front side. The frame (11) is provided with the pair of legs (12) at a top end of the frame (11). The legs (12) extend downward along a front end of a seat cushion (3) and abut against the vehicle body floor (6). By tightening a belt (25) between the frame (11) and a seat support (27), the frame (11) is pulled obliquely downward and is firmly fixed. Since a flexible seat cushion (3) does not bear a load of the device (1), vibrations of the device (1) during a running test do not easily occur.
