A cruise control system is provided with the ability to inhibit operation of a cruise control resume function which returns a vehicle to a target vehicle speed. The resume inhibition is inhibited when values of vehicle parameters exceed threshold values, such as a road wheel angle being greater than a threshold angle, detection of an object such as another vehicle adjacent to the vehicle, and/or a vehicle speed being lower than a threshold speed. The ability to inhibit the cruise control resume function enhances safety by avoiding unexpected or otherwise undesired vehicle acceleration when the steering wheels turned at a large angle and an adjacent object is present, thereby minimizing the chances of the turning vehicle colliding with the adjacent object.

A vehicular driving control system and a method for operating the same are provided, may include an information provider to provide information on a front road of a vehicle, a transmission controller to control gear shifting by predicting a condition on the front road based on the information on the front road, and a diagnosing device to diagnose a failure status by verifying matching with the information on the front road, and to restrict a predictive gear-shifting controlling operation of the transmission controller, according to a result of the diagnosing.

A system for controlling operation of a vehicle includes a millimeter-wave radar sensor, a processor, and a memory communicably coupled to the processor. The memory stores a sensor control module configured to control operation of the radar sensor to acquire data for determining and updating a number of occupants in the vehicle. Upon receiving a control command whose execution will result in movement of the vehicle, a pre-movement radar scan of the vehicle interior is performed. using information acquired by the pre-movement scan, the sensor control module determines if an excessive occupant condition exists in the vehicle interior. Responsive to a determination that an excessive occupant condition exists, the sensor control module may control an operation of the vehicle other than executing the control command.

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to sensing interactions of a passenger with components within a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes acquiring, from a radar of a vehicle, radar data about a passenger cabin of the vehicle. The method includes determining a current state of the passenger cabin according to the radar data. The method includes, responsive to identifying that the current state indicates that a passenger satisfies a threshold in relation to an unpermitted action, generating a response that counters the unpermitted action.

The present disclosure relates to a method for displaying lane information of an electronic device. The method for displaying lane information according to the present disclosure includes: acquiring an image photographed while a vehicle is driving; dividing the acquired image according to a distance from the vehicle; detecting lane display lines in the divided areas; curve-fitting the detected lane display lines to a continuous curve; and displaying the curve-fitted curve on a predetermined user interface. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to improve the route visibility to the driver by recognizing the far-distance lane by determining whether the vehicle is in the driving lane. In addition, it is possible to more accurately provide the route guidance information by using the real-time lane recognition results for the display of the route guidance.

When a driver is not in pedal erroneous operation inducing situation and a rate of change in an operation amount of an accelerator pedal is equal to or greater than a first erroneous operation determination threshold value, a driving assistance apparatus determines that operation of the accelerator pedal is erroneous operation. When the driver is in the pedal erroneous operation inducing situation and the rate of change in the operation amount of the accelerator pedal is equal to or greater than a second erroneous operation determination threshold value, the riving assistance apparatus determines that the operation of the accelerator pedal is the erroneous operation, and the second erroneous operation determination threshold value is smaller than the first erroneous operation determination threshold value.
