Proposed is system and method for determining a driver's fatigue to promote safe driving by determining the driver's fatigue according to a change in a brain wave of a driver during driving of a vehicle.

A method performed by a vision control system for supporting in low light conditions in surroundings of a moving vehicle, object detection by at least a first on-board rearward- and/or sideward-facing image capturing device. The vision control system captures a surrounding located rearward and/or sideward of the moving vehicle with support from the at least first image capturing device. The vision control system further determines light conditions in the surrounding. Moreover, the vision control system provides with support from at least a first light source, when the light conditions fulfill insufficient light criteria, a light output illuminating a ground region of the surrounding to facilitate object detection by the at least first image capturing device. The disclosure also relates to a vision control system, a vehicle comprising such a vision control system, and a respective corresponding computer readable storage medium.

The invention relates to the field of vehicle technologies, and aims to solve a technical problem that when light control for avoidance of a vehicle is improper, traveling safety of the present vehicle, traveling safety of vehicles ahead for which light is controlled for avoidance, and/or safety, walking experience, etc. of the pedestrians for whom light is controlled for avoidance are/is affected to some degree. To solve the technical problem, embodiments of the invention provide a vehicle control method and apparatus, a control apparatus, a vehicle-mounted device, a vehicle, and a computer-readable storage medium. The control method includes: detecting target objects in front of a vehicle; determining whether the target objects are on a traveling path of the vehicle; and performing light control for avoidance for the target objects based on a determination result in a predetermined manner. With this setting, a strategy of light control for avoidance for a target object can be made by learning a traveling path of the target object, such that impact on traveling safety of the present vehicle, traveling safety of vehicles ahead for which light is controlled for avoidance, and/or safety, walking experience, etc. of the pedestrians for whom light is controlled for avoidance are/is kept as little as possible.
