1. A method of performing autonomous driving based on platooning by a moving object, the method comprising:
setting a moving path;
determining whether platooning is allowed;
transmitting moving path information to a first intelligent transportation system infrastructure when the moving object of a plurality of moving objects approaches a preset range of the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure;
receiving platooning information from the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure; and
performing platooning based on the platooning information,
wherein the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure sets a preliminary platooning group capable of platooning from among the plurality of moving objects based on the moving path information received from each of the plurality of moving objects and sets a platooning group in consideration of traveling characteristics or braking characteristics of moving objects in the preliminary platooning group, satisfaction information of a user using the moving object for the platooning and operation characteristics of driver corresponding to each of the moving objects in the preliminary platooning group;
wherein the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure sets a time duration in which the moving path information is received; and performs the platooning grouping based on the moving objects which have transmitted the moving path information within the time duration,
wherein the time duration is differently set based on a driving speed of the moving object within a preset distance range of the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure;
wherein the satisfaction information is information that indicates a level of satisfaction with the platooning by the user; and
wherein the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure sets the platooning group in consideration of the satisfaction information by:
excluding the moving object representing dissatisfaction from the preliminary platooning group when the satisfaction information indicates the dissatisfaction with platooning; and
keeping the moving object representing satisfaction in the preliminary platooning group when the satisfaction information indicates the satisfaction with platooning.
