An embodiment autonomous driving control apparatus includes a memory storing data and algorithms and a processor configured to execute the algorithms stored in the memory to estimate an end of an operational design domain of an autonomous driving function in advance and to calculate a distance from an end point of the operational design domain to a start point of a transition demand, wherein the transition demand is a point at which a transition demand section starts based on a current speed of a vehicle depending on a driving strategy of the transition demand section for requiring a driver to drive the vehicle and a minimum risk maneuver section.

Autonomous driving control apparatus, system having the same, and method thereof

An autonomous vehicle control apparatus may control autonomous driving of a driving vehicle based on monitoring a plurality of surrounding vehicles. The autonomous vehicle control apparatus may monitor a plurality of surrounding vehicles located around the driving vehicle, and select a vehicle of interest as a target vehicle. The autonomous vehicle control apparatus may control the driving vehicle to avoid the target vehicle that exhibits an abnormal driving pattern.

Autonomous vehicle control apparatus and method thereof

An apparatus of controlling autonomous driving in a transition demand (TD) process during the autonomous driving and a method thereof are provided. A controller is configured to determine whether there is a section where it is impossible to operate autonomous driving in front of an autonomous driving route of an autonomous vehicle, during autonomous driving of the autonomous vehicle, determines a maximum speed limit while a TD is output, based on a current speed of the autonomous vehicle, outputs the TD before a predetermined distance from the section where it is impossible to operate the autonomous driving, and is configured to control a speed of the autonomous vehicle based on the maximum speed limit. The apparatus enhances a problem in which a TD is initiated from a too long distance to the section where it is impossible to operate the autonomous driving.

Autonomous driving control apparatus and method thereof

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for controlling a side mirror of an autonomous vehicle and a method thereof. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to detect whether a vehicle is autonomously driven and to fold the side mirror such that a mirror surface is in close contact with a vehicle body surface or side window glass or to insert the side mirror into the inner space of the vehicle when the vehicle is autonomously driven. Through the present disclosure, it is possible to notify an external vehicle of information indicating that the vehicle is driven in an autonomous driving mode.

Apparatus for controlling side mirror of autonomous vehicle and method thereof

An apparatus and a method are configured to control a steering wheel of an autonomous driving vehicle. A state of a driver may be monitored during autonomous driving, and at least one of an upward/downward location, a leftward/rightward tilting angle, or an axial movement of the steering wheel of the autonomous driving vehicle may be controlled based on the state of the driver. As a result, danger information may be delivered to the driver through a dual system during autonomous driving.

Apparatus and method for controlling steering wheel of autonomous vehicle

A driving controller for a vehicle includes a detector that obtains driving information of a preceding vehicle and information about the road and a controller that determines a risk level of the preceding vehicle based on the driving information of the preceding vehicle and determines whether to perform avoidance control depending on the risk level. When it is determined that a breakdown or risk occurs in the preceding vehicle, the driving controller provides corresponding logic capable of avoiding the preceding vehicle.

Driving controller for determining a risk level of a vehicle and control method thereof

In an apparatus and a method for providing information on autonomous driving of a vehicle to a passenger of the vehicle, when it is recognized whether partial autonomous driving of a vehicle is activated, information on whether a user operates a device including a display may be acquired, and it is determined the user operates the display in a state in which the partial autonomous driving is activated, information on the autonomous driving of the vehicle may be output through the display. An effect of inducing an alert measure of the driver against a dangerous situation may be provided by providing driving information at a site, at which a sight of the driver stays.

Apparatus and method for providing autonomous driving information

An autonomous vehicle and a drone-based emergency response method thereof are provided. The autonomous vehicle includes a communication device that supports communication with a drone and a detection device that detects vehicle status information and driving environment information. A processing device detects an emergency situation occurring on a road based on the vehicle status information and the driving environment information while autonomous driving and performs a response logic matching the recognized emergency situation using the drone.

Autonomous vehicle and drone-based emergency response method thereof

An apparatus for determining failure of a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a sensor configured to obtain autonomous driving information, and a controller configured to compare the autonomous driving information obtained during autonomous driving with a determination criterion set as failure sound information and to determine whether the failure occurs, based on the comparison result.

Apparatus and method for determining error of vehicle

An apparatus for controlling a space of a vehicle includes: a communication device to receive reservation information; and a controller to determine a manner of partitioning an inner space of the vehicle based on the reservation information and control an operation of one or more partition to correspond to the manner of partitioning the inner space, thereby allowing users moving similar routes to feel comfortable.

Apparatus, system and method for controlling space of vehicle

A vehicle data sharing apparatus and a vehicle data sharing method, may include a processor configured to subdivide a sharing range of vehicle data for each group according to a range of a subject driving a vehicle, and to obtain consent from a user for each subdivided group, to perform vehicle data sharing; and a storage configured to register consent information related to a sharing range of vehicle data acquired from the user.

Apparatus for sharing data of vehicle and method thereof

An autonomous vehicle and a drunk driving responding method, includes an autonomous driving control apparatus including a processor that is configured to determine whether the vehicle is in an emergency situation when the alcohol is detected in the vehicle, and to move the vehicle to an operational design domain when the processor concludes that the vehicle is in the emergency situation, and a communication device that is configured to notify a government office or a rescue organization of the emergency situation.

Autonomous vehicle, and method for responding to drunk driving thereof

A method for controlling emergency stop of an autonomous vehicle is provided. The method includes: controlling emergency stop of an autonomous vehicle capable of recognizing a stop request from an emergency vehicle, determining whether a current situation is an emergency situation or a general situation, and performing a procedure corresponding to each situation to stop the autonomous vehicle based on each situation.

Method for controlling emergency stop of autonomous vehicle

An apparatus for controlling a vehicle capable of performing autonomous driving is provided. The apparatus includes an autonomous driving device that executes the autonomous driving and generates a transition demand when it is impossible to execute the autonomous driving. A driving controller performs a minimum risk maneuver (MRM) of applying a deceleration pattern differently depending on a driving environment of the vehicle, when the transition demand is generated, but when driving manipulation by a driver does not occur. A subsequent safety ensuring function is performed according to the MRM for the driver to recognize the MRM, and a drive mode of the vehicle is changed to a drive mode with a rapid response speed to acceleration or steering.
