The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for recognizing a drive environment of an autonomous vehicle, allowing each different method to fuse an image sensor and a distance sensor depending on the degree of precision of global positioning system (GPS) information and map information, thereby recognizing an accurate drive environment and handling a situation according to the recognized drive environment. The apparatus for recognizing the drive environment of the autonomous vehicle comprises: a satellite navigation receiver; a map storing part; the image sensor; the distance sensor; and a control part. The satellite navigation receiver receives a satellite signal from a satellite. The map storing part stores the map data. The image sensor photographs images of the surroundings of a vehicle. The distance sensor senses an object located within the surroundings of the vehicle. The control part determines a method to fuse information measured by the image sensor and the distance sensor depending on the reception state of the satellite navigation receiver and the degree of precision of the map data to recognize the drive environment.
