determining whether the access permission of the portable electronic device to access the driving control system of the vehicle is cancelled; and

in response to determining that the access permission is cancelled, stopping determining the control instruction for the driving behavior of the vehicle.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein, determining the control instruction for the driving behavior of the vehicle comprises:

generating the control instruction based on a specified time and a specified geographic area to control the vehicle to drive to the specified geographic area at the specified time.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the external device comprises at least one of a sensing device in the vicinity of an area where the vehicle is driving and a sensing device integrated on another vehicle in the environment.

2. The method of claim I, wherein, establishing the communication connection comprises:

determining whether the portable electronic device has an access permission to access the driving control system of the vehicle; and

in response to determining that the portable electronic device has the access permission, establishing the communication connection.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein, determining whether the portable electronic device has the access permission comprises:

acquiring first authentication information related to at least one of the vehicle and a user of the vehicle;

verifying the at least one of the vehicle and the user by using the first authentication information; and

determining, based on a successful verification of the at least one of the vehicle and the user, that the portable electronic device has the access permission.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein, the first authentication information comprises at least one of:

a biological characteristic of the user, a password and a user name.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein, determining whether the portable electronic device has the access permission comprises:

providing second authentication information related to the portable electronic device to an authentication service of at least one of the vehicle and a user of the vehicle;

receiving from the authentication service a verification result of the portable electronic device obtained using the second authentication information; and

determining, in response to the verification result indicating a successful verification of the portable electronic device, that the portable electronic device has the access permission.

8. The method of claim I, wherein, when the received information comprises the perceptual information, determining the control instruction for the driving behavior of the vehicle comprises:

based on the perceptual information, determining the path planning of the vehicle; and

based on the determined path planning, generating the control instruction.

11. A portable electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory for storing one or more programs;

wherein when the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors are caused to perform the method, comprising;

establishing a communication connection with a driving control system of the vehicle;

receiving information related to a driving control of the vehicle from an external device of the vehicle, the information comprising at least one of perceptual information related to an environment where the vehicle is located, a path planning of the vehicle and a behavior prediction of at least one object in the environment;

determining, based on the received information, a control instruction for a driving behavior of the vehicle; and

transmitting, via the communication connection, the control instruction to the driving control system of the vehicle for executing the control instruction.

12. The portable electronic device of claim 11, wherein, establishing the communication connection comprises:
