APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DRIVING OF VEHICLE

In an apparatus for controlling driving of a vehicle, an input interface is configured to receive a reassurance indicator entered by a passenger of the vehicle. The reassurance indicator represents a preference of the passenger for security. A communication unit is configured to communicate with a plurality of roadside devices located in respective potentially risky areas where the vehicle may collide with a moving object. Each roadside device is configured to evaluate the collision possibility with the moving object. A vehicle controller is configured to, if receiving an evaluation result from the roadside device located in the potentially risky area forward of the own vehicle showing that the own vehicle is unlikely to collide with the moving object in the potentially risky area forward of the vehicle, perform avoidance control to control driving of the vehicle according to the reassurance indicator.
