Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an autonomous cruise control apparatus and a control method thereof. An embodiment provides an autonomous cruise control apparatus including: a sensing module configured to detect an object adjacent to the vehicle; a vehicle movement distance calculation unit configured to calculate a vehicle movement distance for moving the vehicle to the left or right using a preset method; and a control module configured to perform a control operation to move the vehicle by the vehicle movement distance when movement of a following vehicle behind the vehicle by a preset width or more is detected by the sensing module. Therefore, an emergency vehicle may be allowed to smoothly travel during autonomous cruise control by detecting travel of the emergency vehicle and creating a travel path for the emergency vehicle.
