Various embodiments relate to a vehicle for performing minimum risk maneuvers and a method of operating the same. An autonomous driving vehicle includes at least one sensor configured to detect surrounding environment of the vehicle to generate surrounding environmental information, a controller configured to control an operation of the vehicle, and a processor. The processor is configured to monitor the status of the vehicle to generate vehicle state information; determine whether a minimal risk maneuver is required; execute, based on the minimal risk maneuver being required, the minimal risk maneuver by causing the controller to control autonomous driving of the vehicle; provide, to a user inside the vehicle, an indication of initiation of the minimal risk maneuver; and turn on and off an external indicator indicating the execution of the minimal risk maneuver.
