An apparatus for detecting a battery discharge cause for a vehicle includes a communicator connected to and configured to communicate with a plurality of controllers, and a monitor configured to monitor a communication state of the controllers to detect a battery discharge cause through the communicator. The monitor monitors the communication state of the controllers to check whether a controller in a communication-enabled state is present when the plurality of controllers is in a state of always-on power (power B+). The monitor checks whether the controller is maintained in the communication-enabled state until a preset amount of time elapses when a controller in a communication-enabled state is present. The monitor detects a communication non-sleep controller based on the controller maintained in the communication-enabled state until the preset amount of time elapses.

Apparatus and method for detecting a battery discharging cause for a vehicle

A safety exit assist system and a method therefor are provided. The system includes a plurality of child lock latches configured to be respectively located in left and right doors of a vehicle and execute child lock or child lock release and a controller configured to control the plurality of child lock latches and instruct the plurality of child lock latches to execute the child lock if receiving a proximity warning signal relative to a rear of the vehicle from a blind spot detection (BSD) device.

Safety exit assist system and method therefor

A high voltage connector for a vehicle includes: a first connector connected to a first wire to transfer a current and including an interlock switch part controlling an interlock signal to open or close a voltage transfer; and a second connector connected to a second wire to transfer a current and including a pressing part pressing a portion of the interlock switch part of the first connector to control the opening or closing of the voltage transfer of the interlock switch part.
