Abstract

An autonomous driving control apparatus and method are provided to automatically determine whether a lane change is required by considering shapes of forward roads, a link relationship between the roads, a speed limit, the number of lanes, road characteristics (e.g., a crossroad, a crosswalk, an interchange, a junction, a speed bump, a dead-end, etc.), and the like which are recognized from a detailed map. The method also effectively determines a timing of the lane change when the lane change is required for a driver to more conveniently, stably, and efficiently arrive at a destination using an autonomous driving.
