and a processor configured to receive a request for assignment of control authorization for allowing a first external vehicle to control the first vehicle from the first external vehicle, based on information sensed by the sensing unit, or to make a request to the second external vehicle for assignment of control authorization for allowing the AI device to control a second external vehicle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The AI device of claim 1, wherein the processor assigns the control authorization to the first external vehicle upon determining that the first external vehicle is to collide with the first vehicle at the current position when moving to a target position. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The AI device of claim 1, wherein, upon receiving a request for assignment of control authorization for a first range in which the first vehicle needs to move for enabling the first external vehicle to move to the target position without collision with the first vehicle, from the first external vehicle, the processor performs an operation of comparing the area in which the first vehicle is moveable with the first range, and upon determining that the area in which the first vehicle is moveable is larger than the first range, the processor performs an operation of assigning the control authorization for the first range to the first external vehicle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The AI device of claim 3, wherein, upon determining that the area in which the first vehicle is moveable is smaller than the first range, the processor performs an operation of making a request to the second external vehicle for assignment of control authorization for a second range in which the second external vehicle needs to move for enabling the first vehicle to move by the first range without collision with the second external vehicle. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The AI device of claim 4, wherein the processor performs an operation of receiving the assignment of the control authorization from the second external vehicle, controlling the second external vehicle to move by the second range, and assigning the control authorization for the first range to the first external vehicle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The AI device of claim 5, wherein, when the first external vehicle moves to the target position, the processor performs an operation of moving the first vehicle to a start position of the first vehicle at a time point when control by the first external vehicle begins. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The AI device of claim 6, wherein, when the first vehicle moves to the start position of the first vehicle, the processor performs an operation of making a request to the second external vehicle for original position movement of moving the second external vehicle to a start position at a time point when control by the first vehicle begins. ### Claim 8 A vehicle control method performed by an artificial intelligence (AI) device installed in a first vehicle, the method comprising: sensing an area in which the first vehicle is moveable at a current position; and receiving a request for assignment of control authorization for allowing a first external vehicle to control the first vehicle from the first external vehicle, based on sensed information, or making a request to the second external vehicle for assignment of control authorization for allowing the AI device to control a second external vehicle. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the receiving the request includes assigning the control authorization to the first external vehicle upon determining that the first external vehicle is to collide with the first vehicle at the current position when moving to a target position. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the receiving the request includes: upon receiving a request for assignment of control authorization for a first range in which the first vehicle needs to move for enabling the first external vehicle to move to the target position without collision with the first vehicle, from the first external vehicle, comparing the area in which the first vehicle is moveable with the first range; and upon determining that the area in which the first vehicle is moveable is larger than the first range, assigning the control authorization for the first range to the first external vehicle. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the receiving the request includes, upon determining that the area in which the first vehicle is moveable is smaller than the first range, making a request to the second external vehicle for assignment of control authorization for a second range in which the second external vehicle needs to move for enabling the first vehicle to move by the first range without collision with the second external vehicle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the receiving the request includes receiving the assignment of the control authorization from the second external vehicle, controlling the second external vehicle to move by the second range, and assigning the control authorization for the first range to the first external vehicle. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the receiving the request includes, when the first external vehicle moves to the target position, moving the first vehicle to a start position of the first vehicle at a time point when control by the first external vehicle begins. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the receiving the request includes, when the first vehicle moves to the start position of the first vehicle, making a request to the second external vehicle for original position movement of moving the second external vehicle to a start position at a time point when control by the first vehicle begins.
