Abstract

A vehicle may collect turning tendency information, including road information and driving information. The vehicle may transmit this information to a server. The server trains steering angle training data by using the turning tendency information and transmits the trained steering angle training data to the vehicle. Then, an amount of steering angle assistance may be output from the vehicle to a driver based on the received trained steering angle training data and the actual steering angle of a driver. This enables to provide information on the amount of steering angle assistance to assist in restricted situations, such as the deactivation of lane following assist (LFA), and to ensure driving safety and dynamic turning assistance by reflecting the individual turning tendencies for each driver on different roads as much as possible.
