Abstract
A vehicle configured to share a captured image with another vehicle, the vehicle including a first camera configured to capture the image; a first display; a second display; a speed sensor configured to sense a speed of the vehicle; a distance sensor configured to sense a vehicle-to-vehicle distance between the vehicle and a first vehicle immediately ahead of the vehicle; a transceiver configured to implement data communication between the vehicle and the first vehicle; and a processor configured to control the first camera, the first display, the distance sensor, the speed sensor and the transceiver. The processor is further configured to determine a state of the vehicle based on the speed of the vehicle and the vehicle-to-vehicle distance, display a first image captured by the first camera on the first display when the vehicle is in a first state, wherein the first state is a state in which the speed of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a first speed and less than a second speed, and the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is equal to or greater than a first distance and less than a second distance, display a second image captured by a second camera on the first display when the vehicle is in a second state, wherein the second state is a state in which the speed of the vehicle is equal to or greater than the second speed, and the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is equal to or greater than the second distance, and display the first image on the first display and the second image on the second display when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is repeatedly increased and reduced within a predetermined time on the first distance or the second distance. In addition, the second camera is a camera installed in a second vehicle, the second vehicle being any one of one or more vehicles ahead of the vehicle.
