Abstract: A vehicle collision avoidance apparatus includes an interface and a processor. The interface receives a point cloud map representing a surrounding environment and an image of the surrounding environment. The processor is configured to: determine whether an object that is expected to collide with the vehicle is present in the point cloud map; activate an avoidance traveling process; set a collision avoidance space defined to avoid the object according to the avoidance traveling process; identify a type of the object based on a region of interest that is set according to a location of the object in the image; based on identifying the type of the object, determine whether the type of the object corresponds to a set avoidance target; and drive the vehicle to the collision avoidance space in response to a determination that the type of the object corresponds to the set avoidance target.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are an autonomous vehicle for preventing collisions effectively, and an apparatus and a method for controlling the autonomous vehicle. According to the autonomous vehicle, and the apparatus and the method for controlling the autonomous vehicle of the present disclosure, an area to which the vehicle has to move to avoid a collision may be preset through simple data before the collision at the same time as driving information is generated for regular autonomous driving, and when the collision occurrence is predicted, the collision is prevented by allowing the vehicle to move to the preset collision-avoidance area.An autonomous vehicle, to which the present disclosure is applied, may be a vehicle that can drive itself to a destination without operations of a user. In this case, the autonomous vehicle may be linked with any artificial intelligence (AI) modules, any drones, any unmanned aerial vehicles, any robots, any augmented reality (AR) modules, any virtual reality (VR) modules, any 5th generation (5G) mobile communication devices, and the like.
