- receiving status information of the external vehicle from the external vehicle;
determining a distance between the vehicle and the external vehicle based on the status information of the external vehicle; and
selectively operating the transparent display in one of an augmented reality mode and a map mode for displaying an object corresponding to the external vehicle on the transparent display based on the determined distance between the vehicle and the external vehicle;
whereinthe transparent display operates in the map mode for displaying an object corresponding to the external vehicle on a map image according to the determined distance being greater than or equal to a predetermined distance, or operatesin the augmented reality mode for displaying an object corresponding to the external vehicle to overlap with the external vehicle according to the determined distance being less than the predetermined distance; and
wherein the object is displayed according to the transparent display operating the map mode or the augmented reality mode.
