Abstract
Disclosed is an autonomous vehicle control apparatus including a sensor that obtains sensing information associated with an entity around a vehicle, a camera that obtains an image of the entity, and one or more processor that determine whether the entity is estimated to reach the vehicle at least a predetermined time after a door of the vehicle opens, and control a position of the door.
Claims20
An autonomous vehicle control apparatus comprising:
- a sensor configured to obtain sensing information associated with a first entity and a second entity around a vehicle;
- a camera configured to obtain an image of the first entity and an image of the second entity;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the autonomous vehicle control apparatus to:
- determine, after the vehicle stops and based on the sensing information associated with the first entity and the image of the first entity, whether the first entity is estimated to reach the vehicle after a predetermined time from a point in time when a door is to be opened;
- and
- based on the determination, control a position of the door,
- determine whether the second entity approaching the vehicle is estimated to board the vehicle, based on the sensing information of the second entity and the image of the second entity after causing the door open.
