DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TRAVEL OF VEHICLE

A device for controlling travel of a vehicle includes: a storage that stores at least one of a first seat location before an autonomous driving, a second seat location set by a driver, or a third seat location in a current state; and a controller that controls a seat of the vehicle based on the seat location stored in the storage when a driving state of the vehicle is switched from an autonomous driving state to a manual driving state by transferring a control right of the vehicle to the driver. The device may allow the driver to immediately receive the control right when the control right of the vehicle is transferred to the driver, so that the transfer of the control right may be performed safely.
