1. A method for controlling a subject vehicle including a smart cruise control (SCC) system, comprising:
- providing driving under a smart cruise control (SCC) system;
determining whether a neighboring vehicle sensed by a blind spot detection (BSD) device meets a particular condition; and
adjusting the speed of the subject vehicle based on a comparison result between the subject vehicle speed and neighboring vehicle speed when the neighboring vehicle meets the particular condition.

Abstract
A method for controlling a vehicle is provided with a smart cruise control (SCC) system. The vehicle determines whether a neighboring vehicle sensed by a blind spot detection (BSD) device meets a particular condition. When the neighboring vehicle meets the particular condition, the speed of the vehicle is adjusted based on a comparison result between the vehicle speed and neighboring vehicle speed.

12. An apparatus for controlling a subject vehicle including a smart cruise control (SCC) system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a controller configured to adjust the speed of the subject vehicle based on the smart cruise control (SCC) system; a blind spot detection (BSD) device configured to detect neighboring vehicles located adjacent to the subject vehicle; and a parallel driving determination unit configured to instruct the controller to adjust the subject vehicle speed based on a comparison result between the subject vehicle speed and neighboring vehicle speed when the neighboring vehicle meets a particular condition. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An apparatus for controlling a subject vehicle including a smart cruise control (SCC) system comprising a processing system that comprises at least one data processor and at least one non-transitory computer-readable memory storing a computer program, wherein the processing system is configured to cause the apparatus to:
-
drive on the smart cruise control (SCC) system; determine whether a speed of the subject vehicle is equal to or greater than a reference speed based on a location of the subject vehicle; determine whether a neighboring vehicle sensed by a blind spot detection (BSD) device meets a particular condition; and adjust the speed of the subject vehicle based on a comparison result between the subject vehicle speed and neighboring vehicle speed when the neighboring vehicle meets the particular condition.
