Abstract
An autonomous vehicle configured to generate a pull-out path to pull-out from a stationary state. The autonomous vehicle includes: an object detection device to detect an object within a distance range of the autonomous vehicle; at least one processor; and at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and having stored thereon instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including: generating the at least one pull-out path for the autonomous vehicle; based on detecting at least one object blocking the at least one pull-out path, transmitting first information to the at least one object; determining whether second information is received from the at least one object; and controlling the autonomous vehicle to perform the pull-out based on a result of transmitting the first information and whether the second information was received from the at least one object.
