The control unit 801 displays a list of available applications (ADAS functions) 16 - 1 of the selected nearby vehicles (for example, V 1) when any one of the nearby vehicles V 1 and V 2 displayed on the display unit 802 is selected. 1) is displayed on the display unit 802 and a first application (ADAS function) corresponding to the driver request information among the application (ADAS function) list 16-1 is set as a priority list (16-1).

The control unit 801 selects one or more of the displayed applications (ADAS functions) 16-1, receives the selected one application (ADAS function) from the selected vehicle, (ADAS function) in the memory 140 (S14).

For example, the control unit 801 automatically selects a first application (ADAS function) corresponding to the driver request information from the list of displayed applications (ADAS function) 16-1, ADAS function) from the selected vehicle, and stores the received first application (ADAS function) in the memory 140. [

On the other hand, the control unit 801 selects a second application (ADAS function) touched by the driver in the list of displayed applications (ADAS function) 16-1 and selects the selected second application (ADAS function) From the vehicle, and stores the received second application (ADAS function) in memory (140).

The control unit 801 controls the vehicle based on the received (stored) application (S15). For example, when the driver of the vehicle makes a lane departure a predetermined number of times at a predetermined speed, the controller 801 determines the driver's request information as the driver's request information, (LKAS function) from a neighboring vehicle (for example, A1) when the vehicle 100 does not exist in the vehicle 100, and based on the received ADAS function (LKAS function) And controls the vehicle 100 so that the vehicle 100 maintains the lane. The Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) function is a function of controlling the vehicle 100 that allows the vehicle 100 to maintain the driving lane using the camera 310. [ The ADAS function (for example, the LKAS function) corresponding to the request information is set in advance and can be changed according to the intention of the user or the designer.

When the right turn signal lamp 11-1 of the vehicle 100 is operated by the driver of the vehicle at the intersection while traveling along the route from the present position to the destination, (Blind Spot Detection) function corresponding to the request information is received from a nearby vehicle (for example, A1) for blind spot monitoring of the vehicle, and the received BSD (Blind Spot Detection) And controls the vehicle 100 to monitor the peripheral blind spots of the vehicle 100. [

The control unit 801 may request environment information such as precipitation, wind intensity, degree of fog, road adhesion, and the like to the peripheral vehicle (for example, A1) and display the requested environment information on the display unit 802 have.

17 is a diagram illustrating a method of changing an ADAS function used in a vehicle to another ADAS function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 17, the control unit 801 determines whether or not the vehicle (e.g., a vehicle) (hereinafter, referred to as " VAS ") based on the first ADAS function 100, and receives the ADAS function list of the real-time neighboring vehicle while the vehicle 100 is being controlled based on the first ADAS function. If the second ADAS function (for example, the ADAS function of V2) having a version higher than the version of the first ADAS function is detected in the real-time received ADAS function list, the controller 801 determines whether to receive the second ADAS function And displays the message 17-1 on the display unit 802. The display unit 802 displays the message 17-1.

When the request information requesting to receive the second ADAS function (for example, the ADAS function of V2) is received as a response to the message 17-1, the control unit 801 transmits the request to the corresponding peripheral May receive a second ADAS function from a vehicle (e.g., V2), store the received second ADAS function, and control the vehicle 100 based on the received (stored) second ADAS function .

If the third ADAS function (for example, the ADAS function of V3) having a version higher than the version of the first ADAS function is detected in the real-time received ADAS function list, the controller 801 determines whether to receive the third ADAS function And displays the message on the display unit 802. The display unit 802 displays the message. When the request information requesting to receive the third ADAS function (for example, the ADAS function of V3) is received as a response to the message, the control unit 801 transmits the request to the corresponding peripheral vehicle having the third ADAS function , V3), store the received third ADAS function, and control the vehicle 100 based on the received (stored) third ADAS function.

The control unit 801 receives the data corresponding to the selected one application from the first peripheral vehicle (for example, V2) and the second peripheral vehicle (for example, (For example, V3) among the neighboring vehicles when the communication connection of the selected neighboring vehicle is released. For example, when the first ADAS data is received from the first peripheral vehicle (for example, V2) among the neighboring vehicles, the controller 801 determines the distance from the first peripheral vehicle (e.g., V2) The first ADAS data may be successively received from the second neighboring vehicle (for example, V3) among the neighboring vehicles when the communication connection is released.

18 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary method of releasing an ADAS function in use in a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

18, the control unit 801 determines whether or not the vehicle (e.g., a vehicle) (hereinafter, referred to as " VAS ") based on the first ADAS function 100 and controls the vehicle 100 based on the first ADAS function to release the first ADAS function when the current position of the vehicle 100 is a position where the first ADAS function is unnecessary The notification unit 18-1 generates the message 18-1 and displays the message 18-1 on the display unit 802. [ The control unit 801 releases the first ADAS function when the request information requesting to release the first ADAS function is received as a response to the message 18-1.

For example, the control unit 801 controls the driving of the vehicle 100 based on an LCDAS (Lane Change Decision Aid Systems) function that supports lane change corresponding to driver's request information among the ADAS functions of the searched nearby vehicles The lane change decision aid systems (LCDAS) function is canceled when the current position of the vehicle 100 is a round-trip secondary road or a one-way road where the LCDAS (Lane Change Decision Aid Systems) function is unnecessary , And displays the message 18-1 on the display unit 802. The display unit 802 displays the message 18-1. When the request information requesting the LCDAS (Lane Change Decision Aid Systems) function is received as a response to the message 18-1, the controller 801 cancels the LCDAS (Lane Change Decision Aid Systems) function .

The control unit 801 outputs a lane departure warning when the vehicle 100 leaves the lane based on the LDWS (Lane Departure Warning System) function corresponding to the driver's request information among the ADAS functions of the searched nearby vehicles , Generates a message informing that the lane departure warning system (LDWS) function is to be released when the running mode of the vehicle 100 is changed to the autonomous running mode, and displays the message on the display unit 802. The control unit 801 releases the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) function when the request information requesting to release the LDWS (Lane Departure Warning System) function is received as a response to the message.

As described above, the vehicle control apparatus and the method of the present invention automatically identify the driver's requirements, receive the ADAS function according to the automatically identified driver's requirement from the neighboring vehicle, and transmit the received ADAS function The vehicle can be controlled automatically.

The vehicle control apparatus and method of the present invention can automatically and promptly identify the driver's requirements and receive the ADAS function according to the automatically identified driver's requirement from the surrounding vehicle so that the vehicle can be quickly and conveniently The vehicle can be controlled automatically based on the ADAS function.
