Abstract
A vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes: a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver configured to receive a signal from a GNSS; a guide lamp installed on a front portion of the vehicle; and a controller electrically connected to the GNSS receiver and the guide lamp, wherein the controller is configured to: identify an entry of the vehicle into a parking lot based on a GNSS signal acquired by the GNSS receiver; and control the guide lamp to display a light line representing a path to be travelled by the vehicle and an area to be occupied by the vehicle on a road ahead of the vehicle based on the entry of the vehicle into the parking lot.
