acquiring, through the communication apparatus, information about a utilization of a first ADAS used by a second vehicle in a scheduled travel zone of the vehicle, the information about the utilization of the first ADAS being generated by the second vehicle and accumulated for a preset number of times by a server,

based on the information about the utilization of the first ADAS used by the second vehicle, determining whether to use the at least one ADAS for the vehicle,

acquiring, through the communication apparatus, information about a second ADAS for the second vehicle that generates an error in the scheduled travel zone of the vehicle, and

determining to turn off one of the at least one ADAS for the vehicle corresponding to the second ADAS for the second vehicle.

2. The driving system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

based on a determination that either the vehicle does not include the first ADAS used by the second vehicle or that the vehicle does not include a sensor used by the first ADAS, receiving, from the second vehicle, vehicle control information relevant to the scheduled travel zone of the vehicle,

wherein providing the control signal for controlling the at least one of the steering operation, the brake operation, or the acceleration operation of the vehicle is further based on the vehicle control information received from the second vehicle.

3. The driving system according to claim 1 , wherein determining, based on the ADAS information, whether to use at least one ADAS for the vehicle comprises:

determining, based on the ADAS information, at least one of the first ADAS that is to be utilized for the vehicle or the second ADAS that is not to be utilized for the vehicle based on the location of the vehicle.

4. The driving system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

transmitting, through the communication apparatus and to at least one of other vehicles or the server, ADAS information generated in the scheduled travel zone of the vehicle.

5. The driving system according to claim 1 , further comprising a user interface apparatus,

wherein the operations further comprise controlling the user interface apparatus to output the ADAS information.

6. The driving system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, through the communication apparatus, driving situation information that is based on the location of the vehicle,

wherein determining whether to use at least one ADAS for the vehicle is further based on the received driving situation information.

7. The driving system according to claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, through the communication apparatus, weather information for the scheduled travel zone of the vehicle,

wherein determining whether to use at least one ADAS for the vehicle is further based on the received weather information.

8. The driving system according to claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, through the communication apparatus, first information about the first ADAS used in the scheduled travel zone of the vehicle under a first weather condition,

wherein determining whether to use at least one ADAS for the vehicle is further based on the received first information about the first ADAS that is used in the scheduled travel zone under the first weather condition.

9. The driving system according to claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, through the communication apparatus, second information about the first ADAS for which an error occurs in the scheduled travel zone of the vehicle under a first weather condition; and

based on the second information, determining to deactivate, in the vehicle, the first ADAS for which the error occurs in the scheduled travel zone under the first weather condition.

10. The driving system according to claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, through the communication apparatus, at least one of accident occurrence information or construction information for the scheduled travel zone of the vehicle,

wherein determining whether to use at least one ADAS for the vehicle is further based on the at least one of the accident occurrence information or the construction information.

11. The driving system according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining to deactivate an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system and to activate an Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system of the vehicle.

12. The driving system according to claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, through the communication apparatus, traffic congestion information for the scheduled travel zone of the vehicle,

wherein determining whether to use at least one ADAS for the vehicle is further based on the traffic congestion information for the scheduled travel zone of the vehicle.

13. The driving system according to claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining to deactivate an Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system and to activate a Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) system.

14. The driving system according to claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, through the communication apparatus and from a second vehicle, information about an object located in the scheduled travel zone of the vehicle, and

wherein determining whether to use at least one ADAS for the vehicle is further configured to, further based on the information about the object located in the scheduled travel zone of the vehicle.

15. The driving system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, through the communication apparatus, third information about the first ADAS used in a highway zone; and

based on the third information, activating an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system, a Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system, and a Blind Spot Detection (BPD) system of the vehicle.

16. The driving system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, through the communication apparatus, fourth information about the first ADAS used in an intersection zone; and

based on the fourth information, determining to deactivate an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system and turn on an Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system of the vehicle.
