An assistance apparatus for driving of a vehicle, the assistance apparatus being configured to be located in the vehicle, and to display an image representing a virtual vehicle generated by the assistance apparatus to assist the driving of a driver, the assistance apparatus comprising:

• a display unit that is configured to display the image on a windshield of the vehicle;
• an interface unit that is configured to receive route information including destination information that is set by the driver and sensing information detected by a sensing unit of the vehicle;
• and
• a processor that is configured to control a display state of the image based on at least one of the route information and the sensing information,
• wherein the processor is further configured to:
• detect at least one of safety distance information with respect to an outer vehicle located outside of the vehicle and speed limit information based on the sensing information received from the interface unit, and control the display state of the image according to the detected information,
• detect a distance between the outer vehicle and the vehicle through the sensing information, and change at least one of a size or a color of the image based on the detected distance being less than a critical value, and
• change at least one of a size or a color of the image based on the driving speed of the vehicle being greater than a speed limit;
• and,
• wherein the sensing information further comprises illumination and brightness information of the display unit, and
• the processor detects a color and transparency of the image in real time on the basis of the illumination and brightness information of the display unit and displays the image on the basis of the detected color and transparency.
