Method and apparatus for remotely controlling vehicle

An apparatus for remotely controlling a vehicle, the apparatus comprising a processor configured to:

• identify the vehicle entering an autonomous driving region;
• identify autonomous driving authority information comprising a predetermined user's discretionary control right to the vehicle entering the autonomous driving region;
• remotely control a plurality of electronic elements comprised in the vehicle such that the vehicle moves along a set path corresponding to the autonomous driving region;
• and
• block a user's vehicle operation while autonomous driving is performed according to the remote control, and allow the predetermined user's discretionary control for at least one of the plurality of electronic elements according to the autonomous driving authority information,
• wherein the autonomous driving authority information comprises user's discretionary control right information and allows vehicle acceleration or deceleration control within a certain speed range of a remote controlled speed, according to the autonomous driving region.

A method of controlling a vehicle control apparatus connected to a plurality of electronic parts, the method comprising:

• entering an autonomous driving region according to input of a user's vehicle operation;
• receiving, from a remote control apparatus, a remote control signal for remotely controlling a plurality of electronic elements comprised in the vehicle, such that the vehicle moves along a set path corresponding to the autonomous driving region, according to autonomous driving authority information comprising a predetermined user's discretionary control right to the autonomous driving region;
• performing autonomous driving in response to the remote control signal;
• and
• blocking the user's vehicle operation while the autonomous driving is performed, while allowing the predetermined user's discretionary control for at least one of the plurality of electronic elements according to the autonomous driving authority information,
• wherein the autonomous driving authority information comprises user's discretionary control right information and allows vehicle acceleration or deceleration control within a certain speed range of a remote controlled speed, according to the autonomous driving region.
