VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, METHOD AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR AUTOMONOUSLY DRIVING VEHICLE

A system for autonomously driving a vehicle along a road segment includes at least one processor. The processor is configured to: acquire at least one piece of peripheral object data indicating information about an object disposed around the vehicle from a peripheral monitoring sensor; analyze the peripheral object data to calculate a position of the landmark with respect to the road on which the vehicle travels; determine position coordinates of the vehicle based on the position of the landmark calculated from the peripheral object data and the map data; and change a relative position of the vehicle with respect to an obstacle so as to easily detect the landmark by the peripheral monitoring sensor when the obstacle is disposed within a detection range of the peripheral monitoring sensor.
