Abstract
The present invention relates to a vehicle control device provided in a vehicle and a method of controlling the vehicle. A vehicle control device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a sensing unit configured to sense a driver's state, and a processor configured to decide a first time required for a vehicle currently traveling in an autonomous driving mode to reach a point where the vehicle is to be switched to a manual driving mode, and decide a second time required for the driver to be ready to perform manual driving based on the driver's state, wherein the processor outputs notification information such that the second time is shortened when the second time is longer than the first time.
