Abstract
An embodiment apparatus for assisting driving of a vehicle on a spiral ramp includes a spiral ramp determining module configured to determine whether a vehicle travels on a spiral ramp that guides rotation of the vehicle in a specific direction, by using an image of the spiral ramp acquired by a camera included in the vehicle, and a side mirror control module configured to automatically lower a side mirror installed on a side of the vehicle to which the vehicle rotates to an angle to show a view of a rear wheel in response to a determination that the vehicle travels on the spiral ramp.
