Abstract: A shared vehicle and a method of controlling the same are aimed to provide a vehicle sharing service capable of efficiently and reasonably calculating a fare for a shared vehicle in various ways. A method of controlling a shared vehicle includes: driving the shared vehicle in at least one driving mode of a manual driving mode in which a driver drives the shared vehicle and an automatic driving mode in which driving is performed without a driver's intervention; calculating a usage fare by a predefined calculation method based on an operation time period of the manual driving mode and an operation time period of the automatic driving mode; and charging a sum of a usage fare of the manual driving mode and a usage fare of the automatic driving mode, as a usage fare for the shared vehicle, on the driver.

Abstract: Position detection apparatuses of TPMS sensors and a method thereof are provided. One aspect of the invention provides a position detection apparatus for tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors mounted on each wheel of a vehicle. The apparatus includes: a receiver programmed to receive TPMS signals from each TPMS sensor; and a controller programmed to (i) sequentially arrest rotation of each wheel of the vehicle and (ii) detect a position of each TPMS sensor by associating a TPMS signal that is not received at the time of arresting a specific wheel with a position of the specific wheel that is arrested at that time.
