An autonomous driving method includes (a) setting a global driving plan of determining a plurality of global node points for which at least one driving route change of a left turn, a right turn, or a U-turn to a destination is needed and establishing a driving plan for a route change at each of the global node points; (b) recognizing road lines and nearby obstacles and performing autonomous driving using information of the recognized road lines and nearby obstacles; and (c) when recognition of the information of the road lines fails, receiving driving guide data of a road segment ahead from the outside through wireless communication, recognizing nearby obstacles, and performing autonomous driving on the road segment in consideration of the driving guide data and information of the recognized nearby obstacle.
