1. A driving pattern learning apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
a driving mode selection unit configured to receive an autonomous driving mode or a driving pattern learning mode using an input device;
a driving pattern learning unit configured to learn a driving pattern of a user comprising at least one of acceleration, braking, steering, an inter-vehicle distance, a lane change, overtaking, or a response to road facilities based on a process of driving by the user in the driving pattern learning mode;
a driving environment input unit configured to receive at least one of inputs of a position and an angle of a seat, a side mirror, or a rearview mirror as a driving environment;
a memory storing the driving pattern learned by the driving pattern learning unit, and the driving environment, wherein the driving pattern and the driving environment are associated with a name of the driving pattern, which is input by using the input device;
wherein the input device is configured to display names of a plurality of stored driving patterns including driving patterns learned by different users, in response to a selection of the autonomous driving mode;
wherein the driving mode selection unit is further configured to receive, via the input device, a selection of one driving pattern from among the plurality of stored driving patterns including driving patterns recorded by other users based on user interaction to the displayed names; and
wherein the apparatus further comprises an autonomous driving unit configured to control a vehicle to autonomously drive based on the selected driving pattern.
