Claim 0:
1. A work vehicle comprising:
a foot brake that brakes a driving device;
an autonomous drive unit that enables autonomous drive of a vehicle;
a mode selector that enables selection of an autonomous drive mode in which the autonomous drive unit autonomously drives the vehicle; and
an electric actuator that switches the foot brake between a braking state for braking the driving device and a released state for releasing the braking, wherein,
the autonomous drive unit includes a control unit that controls an operation of the electric actuator, and
when the autonomous drive mode is selected by a manual operation of the mode selector, the control unit performs an operation confirmation process for confirming whether or not the foot brake operates normally under operation control of the electric actuator, and when a normal operation of the foot brake is confirmed in the operation confirmation process, the control unit transitions to an operation confirmed state and permits a transition of a drive mode from a manual drive mode to the autonomous drive mode.
