Abstract
A user interface providing apparatus configured for platooning of a vehicle may include a touch screen display, a sensor detecting an external object of the vehicle, a communication circuit communicating with an outside, and a control circuit electrically connected to the touch screen display and the sensor. The control circuit is configured to display a first object corresponding to the vehicle and a second object corresponding to an external vehicle detected by the sensor, on the touch screen display, to receive a touch input associated with the second object, using the touch screen display, and to make a request for joining in a platooning group, to the external vehicle via the communication circuit in a response to the touch input.
