Abstract

In a method performed by a sensor control apparatus provided in a vehicle, the method includes obtaining road driving information received through a wireless communication interface provided in the vehicle, selecting an object undetected area from a plurality of adjacent areas of the vehicle using the road driving information, obtaining sensing data from each of a plurality of sensors provided in the vehicle, selecting an object undetected area from the adjacent areas using the sensing data, and determining an undetected area. The undetected area is selected as an object undetected area from the adjacent areas both when the road driving information is used and when the sensing data is used, as a power saving area. In addition, the method further includes outputting a control signal for controlling power saving target sensors, which are some of the sensors corresponding to the power saving area, to operate in a power saving mode.
