1. An apparatus for controlling driving of a moving object, the apparatus comprising:
a tilt sensor included in the moving object and configured to sense a slope of the moving object in a pitch direction; and
a processor configured to reduce a speed of the moving object in a specific section while the moving object climbs up or down stairs, based on the sensed slope;
wherein the processor is further configured to determine a maximum slope in a section in which the moving object climbs up the stairs, based on the sensed slope;
wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine whether the sensed slope is greater than the maximum slope minus a specific margin; and
reduce the speed of the moving object in a section in which the sensed slope is greater than the maximum slope minus the specific margin.
