1. An apparatus for controlling a path of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

  • a path generating processor configured to generate a first path by searching for a path from a current location of the vehicle to a destination and to generate a second path by searching for a path from a path deviation prediction area on the first path to the destination;

    a path deviation area extracting processor configured to extract the path deviation prediction area based on road attributes on the first path when a driving path of the vehicle is set to the first path; and

    a path controller configured to determine whether to generate the second path based on a congestion level of a road around the vehicle when the vehicle arrives at a range from the extracted path deviation prediction area on the first path, reset the driving path of the vehicle to the second path, and control driving of the vehicle along the second path when a path deviation occurs on the extracted path deviation prediction area.
