1. A corner module apparatus for a vehicle, the corner module apparatus comprising:
one or more processors configured to receive a braking initiation manipulation input of a vehicle; and
a controller configured to perform braking of the vehicle by independently controlling steering of four wheels of the vehicle based on a direction angle, wherein the direction angle is an angle between an inclined direction of a slope and a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, when the braking initiation manipulation input is received by the one or more processors in a state in which the vehicle is positioned on the slope,
wherein the controller is configured to align the four wheels according to a first rule with respect to down wheels disposed on a lower side of the slope and a second rule with respect to up wheels disposed on an upper side of the slope among the four wheels of the vehicle, and
wherein the down wheels and the up wheels are identified based on the direction angle, and
wherein the first rule is predefined in the controller as a rule for limiting a movement of the vehicle in the inclined direction, and the second rule is predefined in the controller as a rule for limiting a movement of the vehicle in a direction perpendicular to the inclined direction on an inclined plane of the slope.
