An apparatus for controlling a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a processor; a memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the processor; and the one or more programs include instructions for: a first determination unit configured to determine whether the vehicle is in a driving state; a first controller configured to deactivate a touch mode of the touch panel provided in the digital side mirror system when the vehicle is determined to be in the driving state; a second determination unit configured to determine whether the vehicle is in a switch mode for controlling the function of the vehicle through the operating switch; and a second controller configured to control a driver to perform a function from a menu selected through the operating switch when the vehicle is determined to be in the switch mode.

Apparatus and method of controlling vehicle equipped with operating switch linked to touch panel of digital side mirror system

A vehicle control apparatus includes a processor, a forward detection device configured to identify an external object in front of the vehicle, a door handle driving device configured to control a position of a door handle relative to a door part of the vehicle, and a collision detection device configured to identify whether there is a collision of the vehicle. The processor is configured to identify whether a first signal is received from the forward detection device based on a speed of the vehicle and a distance between the vehicle and the external object, to transmit a second signal to the door handle driving device for moving the door handle to a first position outward relative to the door part, and to maintain a state where the door handle is at the first position based on receiving a third signal from the collision detection device.

Vehicle control apparatus and method thereof
