Abstract
An apparatus and method for driving a vehicle along a normal route detect a vehicle guidance line marked on a surface of a lane in which the vehicle is driving and determine whether the lane is identical to a lane of a driving route of the vehicle. The apparatus for driving a vehicle along a normal route includes a driving route generation unit for generating a first driving route of the vehicle, an image generation unit for generating a front-side view image of the vehicle, a guidance line detection unit for detecting a vehicle guidance line marked on a road surface based on the front-side view image, and a controller for controlling the vehicle so as to drive along a normal route by comparing the first driving route of the vehicle with a second driving route based on a color of the vehicle guidance line.
