Patent attributes
An apparatus and method are provided for controlling autonomous driving of a vehicle which may derive predicted paths of a pedestrian and a two-wheel vehicle during autonomous driving of the vehicle so as to minimize accidents. The method includes calculating first height information allocating a first gradient that descends in a proceeding direction of objects, including a vehicle and a pedestrian, from respective positions of the objects based on dynamic information of the objects, calculating second height information allocating a second gradient based on a probability that the pedestrian will occupy infrastructure, calculating final height information by fusing the first height information and the second height information, generating a predicted path of the pedestrian, determining a driving strategy of a host vehicle based on a predicted path of the host vehicle and the predicted path of the pedestrian.
