Abstract
A method for driving in a blind spot of a sensor mounted on an autonomous vehicle is provided. The method includes steps of: a computing device of the autonomous vehicle running on a specific road locating the autonomous vehicle from precision map information, sensor information and GPS information, and in response to determining that the autonomous vehicle is expected to encounter a specific event, transmitting vehicle location data, travelling direction data, vehicle structure data and sensor location data and sensor's viewing angle data to the server, to determine whether a region of interest corresponding to the specific event is included in blind spot candidates; receiving blind spot stereoscopic data, computed from the data received from the autonomous vehicle and 3D occlusion environmental data corresponding to occluding static objects in the blind spot candidates, from the server; and controlling movement of the autonomous vehicle based on the blind spot stereoscopic data.
