Apparatus and method for setting speed of vehicle

A method for setting a speed of a vehicle, comprising:

• detecting, by a processor, inattention of a driver of the vehicle based on an operation for a steering device of the vehicle, an operation for a deceleration device of the vehicle, an operation for an acceleration device of the vehicle, or an image captured by a camera which captures an image of the inside of the vehicle;
• when the inattention of the driver is detected, obtaining, by the processor, information associated with a lane of a road in which the vehicle is traveling and information associated with a surrounding vehicle of the vehicle based on an image obtained by a camera which captures an image of the outside of the vehicle, a heading angle of the vehicle, a speed of the vehicle, a yaw rate of the vehicle, a trajectory of the surrounding vehicle, or a curvature of the road;
• and
• performing, by the processor, deceleration control based on the obtained information.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a processor, the non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:

• program instructions that detect inattention of a driver of the vehicle based on an operation for a steering device of the vehicle, an operation for a deceleration device of the vehicle, an operation for an acceleration device of the vehicle, or an image captured by a camera which captures an image of the inside of the vehicle;
• when the inattention of the driver is detected, program instructions that obtain information associated with a lane of a road in which the vehicle is traveling and information associated with a surrounding vehicle of the vehicle based on an image obtained by a camera which captures an image of the outside of the vehicle, a heading angle of the vehicle, a speed of the vehicle, a yaw rate of the vehicle, a trajectory of the surrounding vehicle, or a curvature of the road;
• and
• program instructions that perform deceleration control based on the obtained information.
