Abstract

An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes at least one processor configured to detect, by a sensor, a driving state of a vehicle or a driving state of another vehicle in a vicinity of the vehicle while the vehicle is being driven, obtain state data including the driving state of the vehicle and the driving state of the other vehicle, and use at least one data recognition model to determine a dangerous situation of the vehicle after a certain period of time while the vehicle is being driven, based on the obtained state data. The electronic apparatus may predict a dangerous situation of the vehicle by using a rule-based algorithm or an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm. The electronic apparatus predicts the dangerous situation of the vehicle by using at least one of machine learning, a neural network, and a deep learning algorithm.
