Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle control apparatus and a method thereof. An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may provide a vehicle control apparatus that includes: a first controller configured to control one or more safety features of a vehicle; a second controller configured to perform primary control of autonomous driving of the vehicle; and a third controller configured to perform secondary control of the autonomous driving of the vehicle. The first controller may be further configured to determine whether the second controller or the third controller fails during the autonomous driving of the vehicle, and, based on determining that the second controller of the third controller has failed, perform an autonomous driving function of the vehicle.
