A system and method are provided for operating an adaptive cruise control system of a host vehicle. The method includes receiving data measured from a plurality of sensors, wherein the measured data relates to one or more target vehicles in the host vehicle's field of view. The method further includes generating a following score for each target vehicle based on the measured data and controlling the host vehicle response based on the following score.

A vehicle control device according to an embodiment includes an imager configured to image surroundings of a host vehicle, a recognizer configured to recognize a surroundings situation of the host vehicle, a driving controller configured to control one or both of speed and steering of the host vehicle on the basis of a result of the recognition of the recognizer, and a controller configured to control the driving controller on the basis of imaging content of the imager, and the controller sets relative position information with respect to the host vehicle for an object around the host vehicle present on a two-dimensional image captured by the imager, and corrects the recognition result of the recognizer on the basis of the set relative position information.

A driver assistance system and an operating method thereof are configured and adapted to perform autonomous longitudinal and/or lateral control of a vehicle. At least one control task for longitudinal and/or lateral control of the vehicle can be transferred from the driver to the driver assistance system. This involves informing the driver that a control task can be transferred to the system, and then transferring the control task from the driver to the system in response to the driver ceasing a manual control of this control task.
