1. A vehicle control method comprising:
detecting an electric mobility vehicle around a host vehicle to control an inter-vehicle distance between the host vehicle driven by a driver and the electric mobility vehicle;
determining whether the electric mobility vehicle is present in a region of interest, based on detecting the electric mobility vehicle;
determining whether the electric mobility vehicle is present in a host vehicle lane in which the host vehicle travels based on the electric mobility vehicle being present in the region of interest;
measuring a relative size of the electric mobility vehicle according to a size of the host vehicle and determining a target inter-vehicle distance to the electric mobility vehicle such that the target inter-vehicle distance to the electric mobility vehicle becomes longer as the size of the electric mobility vehicle becomes smaller, based on the electric mobility vehicle being present in the host vehicle lane; and
controlling the host vehicle to maintain the target inter-vehicle distance to the electric mobility vehicle based on the relative size.
