Disclosed includes a method for controlling a personal transportation vehicle, the method being performed by a processor coupled with one or more driving motors of the personal transportation vehicle and with a turning control component and comprising: determining information about a height of an obstacle; determining, based on the information about the height of the obstacle, whether the personal transportation vehicle is capable of running over the obstacle; and after determining that the personal transportation vehicle is not capable of running over the obstacle: transmitting a first signal to the one or more driving motors to reduce a driving force, to cause the personal transportation vehicle to decelerate, and transmitting a second signal to disable the turning control component. As a result, the likelihood that one of the wheels of the vehicle becomes blocked by an obstacle can be reduced, and the safety of the vehicle operation can be improved.
