Abstract: A system comprises a first control module that meets specified operational criteria for controlling a component of a vehicle and a second control module that meets specified operational criteria for actuating the component. The first control module is arranged to send a first signal to open a relay that, when closed, electrically couples a power output of the second control module to ground via a fuse, send a second signal to cause the second control module to power a motor for actuating the component, receive a third signal indicating a completion of actuation of the component, and responsive to receiving the third signal, send a fourth signal to close the relay.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a computer including a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to identify a vehicle being in an autonomous drive mode. The computer includes instructions to detect a user request to change the drive mode from the autonomous drive mode to a manual drive mode. The computer includes instructions to move the brake pedal from the stowed position to the deployed position in response to the response to the user request to change the drive mode. The computer includes instructions to prompt a user to validate the brake pedal being in the deployed position. The computer includes instructions to change from the autonomous drive mode to the manual drive mode in response to the user validating deployment of the brake pedal.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining positions of a stowable pedal assembly are disclosed. An example apparatus to determine a position of a stowable pedal assembly of a vehicle includes motor control circuitry to provide a control signal to a motor operatively coupled to the stowable pedal assembly, the motor to cause movement of the stowable pedal assembly toward a desired position, response detection circuitry to detect a current response of the motor to the control signal, and position determination circuitry to determine the position of the stowable pedal assembly based on the current response.
