EARLY WARNING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRESENT VEHICLE

An ego-vehicle warning method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: determining a nearby area of an ego-vehicle based on moving information of the ego-vehicle; performing target classification on vehicles surrounding the ego-vehicle to obtain nearby vehicles in a plurality of directions and remote vehicle sets in the plurality of directions; for any remote vehicle in a remote vehicle set, calculating a shortest distance between the remote vehicle and a nearby vehicle in each direction that matches a direction of the remote vehicle in the plurality of directions in a future time period, and recording a time T when the shortest distance is less than a threshold D; and sending alarm information to a driver of the ego-vehicle based on the recorded time T, where the alarm information is used to indicate to the driver that an accidental collision accident not caused by the ego-vehicle or another accidental collision accident may occur in a direction of the nearby vehicle corresponding to the earliest time T. The method is used to resolve a problem that a safety warning capability of the ego-vehicle is relatively low when an accidental danger not caused by the ego-vehicle occurs between vehicles surrounding the ego-vehicle.
