Abstract
An embodiment apparatus for generating a U-turn path of a vehicle includes a path generator provided in the vehicle and configured to determine a deflection direction and a deflection distance to avoid a collision during a U-turn process, the deflection direction and the deflection distance being based on a minimum turning radius according to a specific reference point of the vehicle and to generate the U-turn path in which the deflection direction and the deflection distance are reflected, and a controller configured to control autonomous driving of the vehicle to follow the generated U-turn path.
