Abstract
Disclosed are an autonomous driving apparatus for performing autonomous driving of a vehicle and a controlling method thereof. An autonomous driving apparatus according to an example aspect of the present disclosure includes a sensor configured to acquire sensing information to determine a driving state of the vehicle; a storage configured to store a plurality of autonomous driving models; and at least one processor configured to perform autonomous driving of the vehicle using one of the plurality of autonomous driving models stored in the storage based on sensing information sensed by the sensor. Accordingly, the autonomous driving apparatus is capable of performing autonomous driving of a vehicle by rapidly changing a driving mode to an autonomous driving mode suitable for an event occurring during autonomous driving of the vehicle.
