VEHICLE FOR PERFORMING MINIMAL RISK MANEUVER DURING AUTONOMOUS DRIVING AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE VEHICLE

A vehicle for autonomous driving is capable of performing a minimum risk maneuver. The vehicle includes: at least one sensor, a processor and a controller, where the processor may detect whether a minimum risk maneuver (MRM) is required based on at least one of surrounding environment information and vehicle state information during autonomous driving of the vehicle, determine an MRM type based on a possibility of colliding with a neighboring vehicle when the MRM is required, and control to stop the vehicle based on the determined MRM type.
