METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

A method for controlling an autonomous vehicle includes recognizing surrounding objects around the autonomous vehicle and displaying the surrounding objects on a display guiding an autonomous driving situation. The method also includes receiving a user gesture for adjusting an inter-vehicle spacing between the autonomous vehicle and a spacing-adjustment target object selected from the surrounding objects displayed on the display. The method additionally includes transmitting a control signal to the autonomous vehicle to control the autonomous vehicle to travel according to the adjusted inter-vehicle spacing.
