Abstract: There is provided a cooperative driving control method based on a vehicle security status. The cooperative driving method according to an embodiment includes: identifying a security status of a cooperative driving target vehicle; determining a cooperative driving strategy according to the identified security status; and controlling driving according to the determined cooperative driving strategy. Accordingly, cooperative driving may be performed or excluded based on a security status of a target vehicle, so that an accident may be prevented from being caused by cooperative driving with a problematic vehicle, and safety of a driver and an occupant may be guaranteed.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a secondary battery includes: an index table configured to receive a secondary battery cell, the secondary battery cell including an electrode assembly, a can accommodating the electrode assembly, and an electrode tab between the electrode assembly and the can to electrically connect the electrode assembly to the can; a laser scanner configured to irradiate laser onto an outer surface of the can to weld the electrode tab to the can; and a controller configured to variably control the laser scanner according to an operation of the index table.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an air conditioner capable of inducing airflow blown through a blowing port to blow in a substantially horizontal direction. The air conditioner includes a housing including a blowing port, and an airflow guide unit installed in the blowing port to be rotatable about a rotation shaft, wherein the airflow guide unit includes a main blade configured to cover the blowing port, and a pair of sub blades spaced downwardly apart from the main blade and disposed in a flow passage of the blowing port such that outer surfaces thereof are in contact with airflow in the blowing port as a whole, and having different inclination angles.

Abstract: A home appliance comprises a housing including an inlet, a first outlet formed in the housing to discharge air introduced through the inlet, a second outlet disposed adjacent to the first outlet, a fan assembly including a first fan configured to discharge air toward the first outlet, and a second fan configured to discharge air toward the second outlet, and a stator provided to guide air, which is discharged from the first fan, to the first outlet.
