Apparatus and method for sharing and learning driving environment data to improve decision intelligence of autonomous vehicle

An apparatus for sharing and learning driving environment data to improve decision intelligence of an autonomous vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one sensor configured to sense surrounding vehicles traveling within a preset distance from the autonomous vehicle;
• a communicator transceiver configured to transmit and receive data between the autonomous vehicle and the surrounding vehicles or a cloud server;
• a storage configured to store lane-level map data;
• a learning computer configured to:
• generate mapping data by mapping driving environment data of the autonomous vehicle obtained from a sensing result of the at least one sensor and driving environment data of the surrounding vehicles received through the communicator transceiver to the lane-level map data,
• determine whether a situational judgment condition of a driving mission is satisfied based on the mapping data,
• extract training data to perform the driving mission, and
• control driving of the autonomous vehicle with a learning result based on the extracted training data.
