Abstract
A vehicle is configured to enable precise control while minimizing distractions during driving and improving user convenience by receiving a user input that combines the user's gaze or speech with a physical operation. The vehicle includes a first input device configured to receive a first user input by at least one of the user's speech or user's gaze; a second input device configured to receive a second user input by the physical operation of the user; and a controller configured to determine a control item corresponding to the first user input among a plurality of control items when the first input device receives the first user input, and to determine a sub-control item for the determined control item based on the second user input when the second input device receives the second user input.
