Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling a vehicle is disclosed. The method may include: determining center points of at least two frames of point clouds collected for an identified obstacle during travelling of the vehicle; performing curve fitting based on the determined center points to obtain a fitted curve; determining a moving velocity of the obstacle based on the fitted curve; predicting whether the vehicle is to be collided with the obstacle when the vehicle continues travelling at a current velocity, based on the moving velocity of the obstacle, the traveling velocity of the vehicle, and a distance between the obstacle and the vehicle; and sending control information to the vehicle, in response to predicting that the vehicle is to be collided with the obstacle when the vehicle continues travelling at the current velocity, the control information being used to control the vehicle to avoid collision with the obstacle.
