Drive control apparatus and method for autonomous vehicle
First Claim
1. A drive control method for an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining whether the subject vehicle has entered a pocket lane area during autonomous driving;
subsequently, determining whether the subject vehicle will enter a pocket lane based on pocket lane conditions, the lane conditions being determined on the basis of surrounding environment information of the subject vehicle when the subject vehicle enters the pocket lane area;
generating a tracking path with respect to a front vehicle when it is determined to enter the pocket lane; and
performing the autonomous driving by controlling the subject vehicle to follow the front vehicle according to the tracking path with respect to the front vehicle.
