Vehicle Control Apparatus and a Method Thereof

A vehicle control apparatus for a rest in a vehicle and a method thereof are provided. The vehicle control apparatus includes a detector that obtains user information and a processor connected to the detector. The processor determines a user state based on the user information obtained by the detector while a vehicle is traveling. The processor determines whether a rest mode entry condition is satisfied based on the user state. The processor determines an in-vehicle rest mode based on a user input received from a user interface, in response to a determination that the rest mode entry condition is satisfied. The processor performs vehicle control corresponding to the in-vehicle rest mode.
