## Abstract

A vehicle operating in accordance with a predetermined advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) control logic includes a sensing unit configured to acquire environment information of a given area, and a controller configured to change a setting value of the ADAS control logic based on the acquired environment information in real time and control the vehicle in accordance with the ADAS control logic using the changed setting value.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vehicle operating in accordance with a predetermined advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) control logic comprising:
a sensing unit configured to acquire environment information of a given area; and
a controller configured to change a setting value of the ADAS control logic based on the acquired environment information in real time when the environment information satisfies predetermined conditions and control the vehicle in accordance with the ADAS control logic based on the changed setting value,
wherein the given area is an area adjacent to a location where the vehicle drives, and
wherein the environment information includes at least one of driving-related information of an adjacent vehicle located in the given area and location information of the given area.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the controller, based on the environment information, changes a first setting value preset by a user or a second setting value preset during a manufacturing process of the vehicle.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The vehicle according to claim 2, wherein the controller changes the first setting value based on the environment information when the environment information satisfies the predetermined conditions.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The vehicle according to claim 2, further comprising a communication unit,
wherein the controller transmits the environment information to a server via the communication unit when the environment information satisfies the predetermined conditions and receives the ADAS control logic, to which the second setting value changed based on the environment information is applied, from the server via the communication unit.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein when the sensing unit acquires the driving-related information of the adjacent vehicle, the controller determines a driving pattern of the adjacent vehicle based on the driving-related information and changes the setting value corresponding to the determined driving pattern.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein when the sensing unit acquires the location information, the controller determines a driving pattern of the vehicle driving in the given area based on the location information and changes the setting value corresponding to the determined driving pattern.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the controller controls the vehicle in accordance with the ADAS control logic comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Forward Collision Warning System (FWC), Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS), Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), and Rear-end Collision Warning System (RCW).

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The vehicle according to claim 7, wherein the controller determines whether a vehicle ahead of the vehicle has a sudden braking pattern based on environment information acquired by the sensing unit and changes the setting value corresponding to a distance from the vehicle ahead in an ASCC control logic based on the determined result.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The vehicle according to claim 7, wherein the controller identifies a road on which the vehicle drives based on environment information acquired by the sensing unit and changes the setting value corresponding to a warning time of a BSD control logic based on the identified result.

### Claim 10

A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
acquiring environment information of a given area;
changing a setting value of an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) control logic of a vehicle based on the acquired environment information in real time when the environment information satisfies predetermined conditions; and
operating in accordance with the ADAS control logic based on the changed setting value,
wherein the given area is an area adjacent to a location where the vehicle drives, and
wherein the environment information includes at least one of driving-related information of an adjacent vehicle located in the given area and location information of the given area.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method according to claim 10, wherein the changing of the setting value of the ADAS control logic comprises changing, based on the environment information, a first setting value preset passenger user or a second setting value preset during a manufacturing process of the vehicle.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The method according to claim 11, wherein the changing of the setting value of the ADAS control logic comprises:
transmitting the environment information to a server when the environment information satisfies the predetermined conditions; and
receiving the ADAS control logic, to which the second setting value changed based on the environment information is applied, from the server.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

The method according to claim 10, wherein the changing of the setting value of the ADAS control logic comprises:
determining a driving pattern of the adjacent vehicle based on the driving-related information when the driving-related information of the adjacent vehicle is acquired; and

### Claim 15 (depends on 10)

The method according to claim 10, wherein the changing of the setting value of the ADAS control logic comprises:
determining a driving pattern of the vehicle driving in the given area based on the location information when the location information is acquired; and
changing the setting value corresponding to the determined driving pattern.

### Claim 16 (depends on 10)

The method according to claim 10, wherein the operating in accordance with the ADAS control logic is performed by operating in accordance with the ADAS control logic comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Forward Collision Warning System (FWC), Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS), Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), and Rear-end Collision Warning System (RCW).
