Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus includes an input device, a sensor device, a memory, and a controller. The vehicle control apparatus identifies state information of a tailgate of a host vehicle using the sensor device and determines whether a specified condition about loss of the state information is met when a command to open and close the tailgate is received through the input device. The control apparatus also controls opening and closing of the tailgate based on an estimated revolutions per minute (RPM) identified based on at least one of an environmental condition, the training data, an amount of change in current data, an amount of change in RPM, or any combination thereof when it is determined that the specified condition is met.
