A vehicle for preventing accidents when entering a tunnel includes: a front camera provided in the vehicle and configured to acquire front image data, a light wave detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor provided in the vehicle and configured to acquire point cloud data, a front radar provided in the vehicle and configured to acquire front radar data, and a driver assist system including at least one of a cruise control system, an emergency braking control system, or a body control module. The vehicle further includes a controller that recognizes a tunnel positioned in front of the vehicle based on the front image data and the point cloud data, detects a preceding vehicle based on the front radar data, and controls an operation of the driver assist system based on the recognition of the tunnel in front of the vehicle and a relative speed between the preceding vehicle and the vehicle.
