1. A driving force adjusting apparatus, comprising:
an input unit configured for receiving an input of a selection distribution ratio, which is a ratio of driving force generation of front wheels and rear wheels selected by a user;
a receiving unit configured for receiving driving information of a vehicle including the front wheels and the rear wheels;
a driving force determination unit configured for determining a driving force distribution ratio, which is a driving force generation ratio of the front wheels and the rear wheels, and determining driving force of the front wheels and the rear wheels using the driving force distribution ratio; and
a driving control unit configured for controlling a driving unit generating driving force of the vehicle based on the driving force determined by the driving force determination unit,
wherein the driving force determination unit is configured to adjust the driving force distribution ratio based on the driving information and the selection distribution ratio,
wherein the driving force distribution ratio includes a first driving force distribution ratio,
wherein the driving force determination unit is configured to determine the first driving force distribution ratio in which the selection distribution ratio is reset within a preset initial setting range, as the driving force distribution ratio, and
wherein the initial setting range is a range that limits the selection distribution ratio to secure a preset margin distribution ratio in the front and rear wheels.
