An apparatus for controlling the driving assistance of a vehicle, a system including the same and a method for the same are provided. The apparatus for controlling the driving assistance of the vehicle includes a processor to adjust a driving assistance controlling setting value, based on at least one of whether a user looks ahead, whether the user performs a driving manipulation, and a driving condition during driving assistance of the vehicle, and a storage to store the driving assistance controlling setting value.

A method is for controlling a system for regulating a distance between a target vehicle and a following vehicle, with the regulation system being installed on the following vehicle. The method includes the implementation of a control law for regulating the distance which calculates, for a plurality of possible combinations of speeds of movement of the following vehicle and the target vehicle, potential setpoint distances, and, for a given combination of speeds of movement of the following and target vehicles, from the plurality of possible combinations, the determination of a final setpoint distance among the potential setpoint distances previously calculated by the control law.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for controlling a transparency of a window of a vehicle. The system may include a sensor for detecting a user of the vehicle in proximity to the vehicle. The system may also include a control system for controlling the transparency of the window based on the proximity of the user to the vehicle by adjusting a transmittance of a plurality of thin-film-transistors (TFTs) of the window to control the transparency of the window.

A control method for improving fuel efficiency in an adaptive cruise control system includes: setting a target velocity profile based on a current velocity and position when a vehicle is driven by the adaptive cruise control system; determining, by the controller, whether the preceding vehicle exists while driving by the target velocity profile; comparing, by the controller, a minimum distance for preventing a collision between the preceding vehicle and the following vehicle in a case of applying the target velocity profile with a first distance between the preceding vehicle and the following vehicle when the preceding vehicle exists; and performing, by the controller, fuel efficiency driving of the following vehicle when the minimum distance is larger than the first distance and performing driving of the following vehicle according to the target velocity profile when the minimum distance is smaller than the first distance.

A vehicle control apparatus includes a specification unit configured to specify a speed of an object located in front of an own vehicle and a distance between the object and the own vehicle, a calculation unit configured to calculate a target speed of the own vehicle on the basis of the speed of the object specified by the specification unit and a value based on the distance, and a traveling control unit configured to control traveling of the own vehicle on the basis of the target speed calculated by the calculation unit.

Embodiments are disclosed for an example vehicle-to-vehicle communication system. The example vehicle-to-vehicle communication system includes a user input interface configured to receive a user input, an inter-vehicle communication system capable of communicating with a navigation system of a second vehicle, a processor, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to receive a first separation from the user of the first vehicle, the first separation being input via the user input interface. Responsive to receiving a first separation from the user of the first vehicle, instructions are further executable to determine a space cushion between the second and first vehicles, the space cushion being determined based on one more of the first separation and a second separation communicated from the second vehicle via the inter-vehicle communication system, and adjust a distance between the first and second vehicles based on the space cushion.
