Claim 14:
15. A method for controlling an operation of the foldable pedal apparatus of claim 1, the method including:
detecting directivity of a driver's seat, a position of the accelerator pedal assembly, and a position of the brake pedal assembly using signals of a driver's seat sensor, an accelerator pedal position sensor, and a brake pedal position sensor, respectively when a manual driving mode signal is generated in response to operation of a driving mode switch in the autonomous driving mode after a vehicle startup; and
supplying a power to an electromagnet provided on a base portion of each of the accelerator pedal assembly and the brake pedal assembly when an electromagnet button provided on the driver's seat is operated while switching the accelerator pedal assembly and the brake pedal assembly to the manual driving mode under control of an autonomous driving controller only in case of determining that all of the directivity of the driver's seat, the position of the accelerator pedal assembly, and the position of the brake pedal assembly satisfy safety conditions.
