1. An autonomous driving control system of a vehicle comprising a processor, a navigation, and a driving controller communicatively connected to one another, wherein:
the navigation is configured to identify candidate driving routes based on a destination and to search for a charging station for a power source of the vehicle on each of the candidate driving routes,
the processor is configured to estimate a charging amount of the power source that drives a driving device of the vehicle for each of the candidate driving routes,
the processor is further configured to calculate a charging cost of the power source based on cost information of the charging station on each of the candidate driving routes, determine a minimum cost strategy that requires a minimum charging cost among the calculated charging costs for all the candidate driving routes as a charging strategy, and select one of the candidate driving routes requiring the minimum charging cost among the candidate driving routes as a driving route,
the driving controller is configured to autonomously drive the vehicle based on the selected driving route and the charging strategy, and
the driving controller divides the selected driving route into a plurality of sections based on driving information of the selected driving route, allocates a required time for each section, and autonomously drives the vehicle based on an optimum fuel economy according to the required time allocated for each section and the driving information.
