[ 18. An apparatus in a first vehicle to correct position information of a surrounding vehicle, the surrounding vehicle being located in a surrounding area of the first vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
a front vehicle location unit comprising one or more processors configured to:
obtain identifier information of a second vehicle that is visible from the first vehicle and is travelling in front of the first vehicle while the first vehicle is travelling on a curved road,
measure a distance from the first vehicle to the second vehicle, and
determine a relative position of the second vehicle with respect to a current position of the first vehicle using the measured distance from the first vehicle to the second vehicle and information of the curved road on which the first vehicle is travelling;
a surrounding vehicle information receiver configured to receive identifier information and position information of one or more surrounding vehicles that are travelling in the surrounding area of the first vehicle; and
a position information correcting unit comprising one or more processors configured to:
identify the identifier information of the second vehicle among the identifier information of the one or more surrounding vehicles received by the surrounding vehicle information receiver,
compare the determined relative position of the second vehicle with received position information of the second vehicle among the position information of the one or more surrounding vehicles received by the surrounding vehicle information receiver,
correct the received position information of the second vehicle according to a result of the comparing, and
generate a travel map of the second vehicle using the corrected position information of the second vehicle.]
