Apparatus and Method for Controlling Driving of Vehicle

An embodiment method for controlling driving of a vehicle includes collecting driving environment information including drive lanes and positions of a host vehicle and an object on a periphery of the host vehicle, generating virtual integrated lines based on a lane link, a lane side or a control path included in the driving environment information, extracting a target candidate group by determining a position of the object based on the virtual integrated lines, selecting a control target based on position relations between the virtual integrated lines and contour points of the target candidate group, calculating a control point to be tracked, and controlling driving of the host vehicle based on the control point.
