Disclosed are an autonomous vehicle and a control method thereof. An objective of the present invention is to incorporate a driving tendency of a user in autonomous driving control. The autonomous vehicle comprises: an object detection unit to use one or more among a camera, radar, lidar, an ultrasonic sensor, and an infrared sensor to measure a sensing distance; an autonomous driving module to determine a real-time sensing-based control range limited within the sensing distance, and incorporate one or more among a learned driving tendency of a user and a driving tendency defined by external data received from an external device into data related to driving control of a vehicle; and a vehicle driving unit to drive a vehicle driving in an autonomous driving mode in accordance with the data related to driving control. One or more among an autonomous vehicle, an AI device, and an external device can be linked to an artificial intelligence module, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, and devices related to 5G services.
