wherein the received information on granting the driving authority of the second digital key is input using the mobile terminal including the first digital key by the first user.
2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein upon the first user performing an input on the first digital key, for granting a driving authority of the second user, the communicator is further configured to transmit a signal for granting the driving authority to the second digital key of the second user.
3. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein upon the communicator transmitting the signal for granting the driving authority to the second digital key,
the processor is configured to, based on receiving, by the communicator, the second user personalization data from the second digital key including the second user personalization data, control the plurality of ECUs to perform the function corresponding to the second setting information included in the second user personalization data.
4. The vehicle of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to, when setting information is not stored in the second digital key, control an audio video navigation (AVN) of the vehicle to store the setting information in the second digital key.
5. The vehicle of claim 4 , wherein the setting information includes setting information related to at least one of: a height of a seat of the vehicle, a distance between the seat and a pedal; an inclination of a backrest of the seat; a position of an outside mirror; a height of a steering wheel; a distance to the steering wheel, or a height of a headrest.
6. The vehicle of claim 3 , wherein the communicator is configured to, at a time of transmitting the signal for granting the driving authority to the second digital key of the second user, transmit information about a driving destination input by the first user together with the signal.
7. The vehicle of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to control an audio video navigation (AVN) of the vehicle so that route guidance information about the driving destination input by the first user is displayed.
8. The vehicle of claim 6 , wherein the communicator is further configured to, upon arrival at the driving destination, transmit a signal for recovering the driving authority granted to the second digital key of the second user to the second digital key.
9. The vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to, upon the communicator transmitting the signal for recovering the driving authority granted to the second digital key of the second user to the second digital key, control the plurality of ECUs to perform the function corresponding to the first setting information stored in the first digital key of the first user.
10. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the communicator includes one of a ultra-wide band (UWB) antenna, a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) antenna, or a wireless power consortium (WPC)/near field communication (NFC) antenna.
11. A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
communicating, by a communicator, with a digital key including user personalization data;
based on receipt of first user personalization data for a first user from a first digital key including the first user personalization data, controlling, by a processor, a plurality of electronic control units (ECUs) to perform a function corresponding to first setting information included in the first user personalization data; and
based on receipt of second user personalization data for a second user from a second digital key including the second user personalization data, controlling the plurality of ECUs to perform a function corresponding to second setting information included in the second user personalization data;
wherein the communicating with the digital key includes:
receiving information on granting a driving authority of the second digital key of the second user through a short-range communication network from a first mobile terminal including the first digital key;
transmitting the information on granting the driving authority of the second digital key of the second user through the short-range communication network to a second mobile terminal including second digital key; and
receiving the second user personalization data through the short-range communication network from the second mobile terminal; and
wherein the received information on granting the driving authority of the second digital key is input using the mobile terminal including the first digital key by the first user.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising, upon the first user performing an input, on the first digital key, for granting a driving authority of the second user, transmitting a signal for granting the driving authority to the second digital key of the second user by the controller.
13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising, upon the transmitting of the signal for granting the driving authority to the second digital key, controlling, by the processor, based on receipt of the second user personalization data from the second digital key including the second user personalization data, the plurality of ECUs to perform the function corresponding to the second setting information included in the second user personalization data.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising, when setting information is not stored in the second digital key, controlling, by the processor an audio video navigation (AVN) of the vehicle to store the setting information in the second digital key.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the setting information includes setting information related to at least one of: a height of a seat of the vehicle, a distance between the seat and a pedal; an inclination of a backrest of the seat; a position of an outside mirror; a height of a steering wheel; a distance to the steering wheel, or a height of a headrest.
16. The method of claim 13 , the transmitting of the signal for granting the driving authority to the second digital key includes transmitting information about a driving destination input by the first user together with the signal for granting the driving authority to the second digital key of the second user.
17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising controlling an audio video navigation (AVN) of the vehicle so that route guidance information about the driving destination input by the first user is displayed.
18. The method of claim 16 , further comprising, upon arrival at the driving destination, transmitting a signal for recovering the driving authority granted to the second digital key of the second user to the second digital key.
19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising, upon the transmitting of the signal for recovering the driving authority granted to the second digital key of the second user to the second digital key, controlling the plurality of ECUs to perform the function corresponding to the first setting information stored in the first digital key of the first user.
