A lamp system for traffic lane indication using a navigation link may include a multi-function sensor sensing an environment and a line in front of a host vehicle, a line lamp generating and outputting a prediction line at a location corresponding to a line of a road, a navigation device providing location information of the host vehicle, and a vehicle controller predicting a forward line based on a line sensed by the multi-function sensor, and the location information of the host vehicle provided by the navigation device and controlling the line lamp to output the prediction line to follow the predicted forward line.

In an optical sensor, a detecting part includes detecting elements, and a light-shielding portion providing directional characteristics of light to the detecting elements such that the detecting elements indicate different intensities of light received in a specified direction. A signal processing part has an adjustment value for processing detection signals. The adjustment value is set as follows. Based on information of an inclination angle of a window glass of a vehicle to which the detecting part is attached, from the detecting elements, a detecting element having a directional characteristic of light suitable for the inclination angle is selected. The adjustment value is then set so as to coincide a signal value of a detection signal of the selected detecting element with a target value, when the detecting part is irradiated with light in a predetermined direction in a state where the detecting part is inclined at the inclination angle.

An apparatus for controlling driving of a vehicle and a method therefor are provided. The apparatus includes a learning device that classifies a fog situation into a plurality of levels based on deep learning and a controller that determines visible distances of a driver, which correspond to the plurality of levels, and controls driving of the vehicle based on a visible distance of the driver, which corresponds to a fog situation of a road where the vehicle is currently traveling

A vehicle head lamp includes a spatial light modulator and a control device. The vehicle head lamp forms a desired light distribution pattern by radiating light forward via the spatial light modulator, a high luminous intensity region and a low luminous intensity region adjacent to an outer edge of the high luminous intensity region are formed in the desired light distribution pattern to be irradiated by controlling the spatial light modulator, the low luminous intensity region is configured such that the luminous intensity decreases gradationally from the outer edge of the high luminous intensity region toward an outside of the low luminous intensity region, and the control device controls the spatial light modulator so as to relatively change at least one of sizes, luminous intensities, and positions of the high luminous intensity region and the low luminous intensity region based on a traveling condition of a vehicle.
