Abstract
A vehicle includes: a capturer to capture a driver of the vehicle driving in an autonomous driving mode to obtain driver position information; a driver state detector to detect a state of the driver; and a controller to determine a time required to change from the autonomous driving mode to a manual operation mode based on the obtained driver position information and the detected driver state. In particular, the controller controls the change to driving mode of the vehicle based on the determined time to change from the autonomous driving mode to the manual operation mode.
