If the other vehicle is a criminal vehicle, it is possible to increase the communication security level and send a report message, thereby enabling safe driving.

As another example, if the function execution corresponding to the other vehicle is rejected, data on the other vehicle can be deleted from the memory. As a result, the memory can be used efficiently.

The present invention described above can be embodied as computer-readable codes on a medium on which a program is recorded. The computer readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer readable medium include a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state disk (SSD), a silicon disk drive (SDD), a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, , And may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (e.g., transmission over the Internet). In addition, the computer may include a processor or a control unit. Accordingly, the above description should not be construed in a limiting sense in all respects and should be considered illustrative. The scope of the present invention should be determined by rational interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the scope of equivalents of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
