Abstract: A driving controller for a vehicle includes a detector that obtains driving information of a preceding vehicle and information about the road and a controller that determines a risk level of the preceding vehicle based on the driving information of the preceding vehicle and determines whether to perform avoidance control depending on the risk level. When it is determined that a breakdown or risk occurs in the preceding vehicle, the driving controller provides corresponding logic capable of avoiding the preceding vehicle.

Abstract: In an apparatus and a method for providing information on autonomous driving of a vehicle to a passenger of the vehicle, when it is recognized whether partial autonomous driving of a vehicle is activated, information on whether a user operates a device including a display may be acquired, and it is determined the user operates the display in a state in which the partial autonomous driving is activated, information on the autonomous driving of the vehicle may be output through the display. An effect of inducing an alert measure of the driver against a dangerous situation may be provided by providing driving information at a site, at which a sight of the driver stays.
