1. An apparatus for adjusting a beam pattern of a vehicle, comprising:
an output device configured to output the beam pattern; and
a controller configured to:
compare a data value representing a driving tendency of a driver of the vehicle with a reference value;
in response to the data value being equal to or greater than the reference value, performing at least one of (1) expanding a shadow zone area of the beam pattern and (2) increasing a recovery time of the beam pattern; and
in response to the data value being smaller than the reference value, performing at least one of (1) reducing the shadow zone area of the beam pattern and (2) shortening the recovery time of the beam pattern.
