1. An acceleration limit control method of a vehicle, the method comprising:
obtaining a driving score of a driver in the vehicle;
determining a driving score change amount of the driver based on traveling information measured or generated when the vehicle is driving;
determining a current driving score based on the determined driving score change amount and the obtained driving score; and
setting an acceleration limit level or changing a preset acceleration limit level based on the determined current driving score; and
outputting limited acceleration by a vehicle control unit according to the acceleration limit level set or changed, to actually limit acceleration by an acceleration limit device,
wherein the acceleration limit level is divided into driving score ranges by level, and
wherein the same acceleration limit level is applied within the same driving score range.
