Abstract
A seat controlling apparatus includes a driving part, a memory, and a controller. The seat controlling apparatus may: fold a first seat using the driving part when receiving a folding input for the first seat; determine whether a partition wall adjacent to the first seat satisfies an unfolding condition while the first seat is folded; and unfold the partition wall such that one surface of the partition wall faces a second seat adjacent to the first seat when the partition wall satisfies the unfolding condition.
