one or more service point servers configured to manage operating information of one or more service points located within a predetermined distance from one or more smart base parking lots; and a control server configured to: determine whether a destination provided from the vehicle is the smart base parking lot, in response to the destination being the smart base parking lot, transmit a combination of one or more vehicle management services available at one or more service points to the vehicle, and control autonomous driving of the vehicle based on the one or more vehicle management services, wherein the combination of the one or more vehicle management services is generated based on (i) information regarding service points received from each of the one or more service point servers corresponding to the destination and (ii) state information regarding the vehicle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The vehicle management system of claim 1, wherein the control server is configured to: combine the one or more vehicle management services available based on a predetermined vehicle management service recommendation scheme for reducing processing time; and present the combined vehicle management service to a user. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The vehicle management system of claim 2, wherein the control server is configured to: generate priorities of a charging service, a light maintenance service, and a car washing service of the vehicle based on the state information of the vehicle; and present a vehicle management service to the user based on the generated priorities. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The vehicle management system of claim 3, wherein the control server is configured to: generate the priority of the charging service of the vehicle based on a state of charge (SoC) of the vehicle; and present, to the user, the charging service of the vehicle based on the generated priority of the charging service. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The vehicle management system of claim 3, wherein the control server is configured to: generate the priority of the light maintenance service of the vehicle based on a diagnostic trouble code of the vehicle; and present, to the user, the light maintenance service of the vehicle based on the generated priority of the light maintenance service. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The vehicle management system of claim 3, wherein the control server is configured to: analyze an image for the vehicle, the image being received using a camera sensor of the vehicle; and generate the priority of the car washing service based on the analyzed image. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The vehicle management system of claim 3, wherein the control server is configured to: determine, based on (i) payment details of the car washing service among payment details of an in-car payment service being checked or (ii) a rain sensor of the vehicle being operated in a place where a car wash is located in clear weather according on global positioning system (GPS) information and weather information, that the car washing service has been performed. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The vehicle management system of claim 7, wherein the control server is configured to: determine, based on a predetermined time being elapsed from a day when the car washing service is performed, a need for the car washing service. ### Claim 9 A control server of a vehicle management system, the control server comprising: a database configured to store information regarding one or more smart base parking lots and information for each service point related to one or more service points corresponding to the one or more smart base parking lots; a scheduler configured to, based on a scheduling command being received, generate a combination of vehicle management services based on a destination and vehicle state information provided from a vehicle, service operation information regarding one or more available service points corresponding to the destination, and the information for each service point related to the one or more available service points, the information being stored in the database; and a controller configured to: determine whether the destination is the smart base parking lot, in response to the destination being determined as the smart base parking lot, request and receive the service operation information from the one or more available service points, and transmit the scheduling command to the scheduler. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The control server of claim 9, wherein the scheduler is configured to: determine an available time slot for each available service point corresponding to the destination; and generate the combination of vehicle management services that reduces overall time required and that utilizes available services. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The control server of claim 9, wherein the scheduler is configured to: generate the combination of vehicle management services for first recommending vehicle management services preferred for each user based on accumulated vehicle management service selection information of a user. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The control server of claim 9, wherein the scheduler is configured to: apply predetermined priorities to the vehicle management services to generate the service combination. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The control server of claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to: based on the destination being the smart base parking lot, request the service operation information from one or more servers of service points in the smart base parking lot or one or more service points within a predetermined distance from the smart base parking lot. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The control server of claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to: control the vehicle to perform autonomous driving to move to the one or more available service points based on the combination of vehicle management services. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The control server of claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to: transmit, to a user terminal, an indicator informing that each vehicle management service included in the combination of vehicle management services is completed, based on each vehicle management service included in the combination of vehicle management services being completed. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The control server of claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to: based on the vehicle management services included in the combination of vehicle management service being completed, control the vehicle to perform autonomous driving to return to the smart base parking lot. ### Claim 17 (depends on 9) The control server of claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to: based on the vehicle moving to return to the smart base parking lot, communicate with a parking lot server to receive information regarding an available parking spot; and control the vehicle to autonomously park in the parking spot. ### Claim 18 A vehicle management method for a smart base parking lot, the vehicle management method comprising: determining, based on a destination being received from a vehicle, whether the destination is a smart base parking lot; receiving, in response to the destination being determined as the smart base parking lot, service operation information from one or more available service points corresponding to the destination; and generating a combination of vehicle management services based on the destination and vehicle state information provided from the vehicle, the service operation information, and information for each service point related to the one or more available service points, the information being stored in a database. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The vehicle management method of claim 18, wherein receiving the service operation information includes: requesting the service operation information from (i) one or more servers of the one or more service points in the smart base parking lot or (ii) one or more service points within a predetermined distance from the smart base parking lot. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The vehicle management method of claim 18, wherein generating the combination of vehicle management services includes: determining an available time for each service point corresponding to the smart base parking lot; and generating the combination of vehicle management services with reduced processing time and utilizing available services.
