A driver state recognition apparatus that recognizes a state of the driver of a vehicle provided with an autonomous driving system includes a load data acquisition unit that acquires load data measured by a load measurement unit provided at a foot of a driver's seat of the vehicle, a sitting posture inference unit that infers the driver's sitting posture using the load data acquired by the load data acquisition unit, and a readiness determination unit that determines whether the driver is able to immediately operate the pedal of the vehicle during autonomous driving, based on inference information from the sitting posture inference unit.
