APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AUTONOMOUS DRIVING OF A VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF

An autonomous driving control apparatus (100) for a vehicle includes: a processor (130) to determine activation of an autonomous driving function depending on whether a current driving situation satisfies an activation condition of the autonomous driving function during autonomous driving control; and a storage (120) configured to store a set of instructions and data for determination and performance by the processor. In particular, the processor controls a vehicle to satisfy the activation condition and then determines activation of the autonomous driving function when the activation condition is not satisfied and a request to activate the autonomous driving function is inputted from a user.
