1. A vehicle that operates in an autonomous driving mode, the vehicle comprising:
- a sensor that is configured to sense an occupant inside the vehicle; and
at least one processor configured to;
determine, through the sensor, whether the vehicle is occupied,in a state in which the vehicle operates in the autonomous driving mode, control one or more in-vehicle devices based on a determination of whether the vehicle is occupied,control a speed variation per unit time during an accelerating operation or a decelerating operation of the vehicle based on the determination of whether the vehicle is occupied,in a state in which the vehicle is occupied, control the speed variation per unit time to a first speed variation per unit time of the accelerating operation or the decelerating operation, the first speed variation per unit time being less than a second speed variation per unit time of the accelerating operation or the decelerating operation in a state in which the vehicle is unoccupied,based on the determination of whether the vehicle is occupied, control a timing of the decelerating operation according to each of the autonomous driving mode and an automatic parking mode of the vehicle,control the timing of the decelerating operation to a first timing in a state in which the vehicle is in the automatic parking mode and is occupied,control the timing of the decelerating operation to a second timing in a state in which the vehicle is in the automatic parking mode and is unoccupied, the first timing being earlier than the second timing,control the timing of the decelerating operation to a third timing in a state in which the vehicle operates in the autonomous driving mode and is occupied, andcontrol the timing of the decelerating operation to a fourth timing in a state in which the vehicle operates in the autonomous driving mode and is unoccupied, the third timing being later than the fourth timing.

Abstract
A vehicle that operates in an autonomous driving mode and includes: an occupant sensing unit that is configured to sense an occupant inside the vehicle; and at least one processor configured to: determine, through the occupant sensing unit, whether the vehicle is occupied; and in a state in which the vehicle operates in the autonomous driving mode, control one or more in-vehicle devices based on a determination of whether the vehicle is occupied.
