Claim 4:
5. A method for controlling a vehicle, comprising:
determining whether a detection state of an autonomous sensor mounted to the vehicle meets a predefined detection accuracy condition;
determining whether a predefined mobile-object condition is met, the predefined mobile-object condition indicating that a mobile object detected from detection information received from an external device via a communication unit mounted to the vehicle and a mobile object detected from detection information acquired from the autonomous sensor are the same object, determining a mode of occupant assistance as a first mode of occupant assistance in response to the detection accuracy condition being met, and determining the mode of occupant assistance as a second mode of occupant assistance that is different from the first mode of occupant assistance in response to neither the detection accuracy condition nor the predefined mobile-object condition being met,
