1. A vehicle comprising:
a curtain device;
a communicator configured to recognize current position information; and
a processor configured to determine whether a current position is a position before entering a tunnel based on the current position information and map information, and control the opening the curtain device, upon determining that the current position is the position before entering the tunnel,
an inputter; and
a velocity detector configured to detect a travelling velocity and to output velocity information regarding the detected travelling velocity, wherein the processor is configured to
generate route information from the current position to a destination based on destination information input to the inputter and the current position information,
determine whether the current position is the position before entering the tunnel based on the generated route information, the current position information, and the map information,
upon determining that the current position is the position before entering the tunnel, acquire distance information regarding a distance to an entrance of the tunnel based on the current position information and the map information,
acquire expected time information taken to reach the entrance of the tunnel based on the velocity information and the acquired distance information, and
control opening of the curtain device based on the acquired expected time information.
