Abstract
A method for controlling an unmanned vehicle includes: acquiring unmanned vehicle monitoring information of the unmanned vehicle when it is determined that a course of the unmanned vehicle will be out of control; determining a safety level corresponding to the unmanned monitoring information according to a predefined correspondence between unmanned vehicle monitoring information and a safety level; and controlling, according to the safety level corresponding to the unmanned monitoring information, the unmanned vehicle to drive. Thus, upon determining that the unmanned vehicle has gone beyond a boundary of the autopilot, the problem is identified that the unmanned vehicle will encounter a danger in driving. Then, the autopilot process of the unmanned vehicle is demoted according to the severity of the danger, e.g., decelerated or adjusted in its direction, to avoid safety hazards.
