  • Publication number: 20230322242
    Abstract: An autonomous driving control apparatus requests information associated with a plurality of parts of an autonomous vehicle from an external electronic device and calculates a fault rate for each of the plurality of parts using the information associated with the plurality of parts. The apparatus identifies that a first fault rate corresponding to a first part among the calculated fault rates is greater than or equal to a specified first value and calculates a first failure rate at which the first part causes a failure of the autonomous vehicle using the first fault rate. The apparatus stores the first fault rate and information associated with the first part in storage and stops performing a function associated with the first part or stops performing the entire autonomous driving function of the autonomous vehicle after a fault or a failure of the autonomous vehicle occurs.
