11. A vehicle controlling method, the method comprising:
determining, by a processor, an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for the vehicle to arrive at a destination based on a failure signal of the vehicle;
determining, by the processor, an operating mode of a broken vehicle, which is detected based on the failure signal, as a parking mode based on determination that the ETA is less than a predetermined threshold;
determining, by the processor, the operating mode of the broken vehicle as a driving mode on a first driving route based on determination that the ETA is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold;
executing, by the processor, a parking mode logic such that the parking mode logic searches for a parking location of the broken vehicle and parks the broken vehicle at the parking location, when the operating mode is the parking mode;
executing, by the processor, a first driving mode logic such that the broken vehicle drives on a second driving route excluding a ramp while the broken vehicle maintains a first inter-vehicle distance from a forward vehicle, when the operating mode is the driving mode; and
executing, by the processor, a second driving mode logic such that the broken vehicle drives while the broken vehicle maintains a second inter-vehicle distance longer than the first inter-vehicle distance, when the second driving route includes a congestion section.
