VEHICLE PLATFORM, VEHICLE CONTROL INTERFACE BOX, AND AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM

A VP is configured such that an ADS is installable in the VP. The VP includes a base vehicle and a VCIB. The VCIB acts as an interface between the base vehicle and the ADS by CAN communication. The VCIB includes a reception unit, an index value calculation unit, and a transmission unit. The reception unit receives a control request for the base vehicle from the ADS. The index value calculation unit calculates an index value showing a degree of congestion of the CAN communication. The transmission unit transmits the index value to the ADS.
