1. An electronic control unit of a vehicle, comprising:
a communication unit configured to receive a control command from a user input unit located outside of the vehicle; and
a processor configured to transmit the control command to one or more electronic devices located in the vehicle and configured to operate in accordance with the transmitted control command,
wherein the processor is configured to:
measure communication quality between the communication unit of the electronic control unit and the user input unit,
select, based on the communication quality, at least one of a plurality of cameras located in the vehicle,
control the communication unit of the electronic control unit to transmit, to the user input unit, a plurality of images acquired from the selected at least one of the plurality of cameras, wherein the processor is configured to measure the communication quality by measuring transmission latency and a transmission bandwidth for transmission of the plurality of images from the vehicle to a fifth generation (5G) base station, and
determine, based on the measured communication quality, a viewing angle, and
generate a virtual reality (VR) image corresponding to the determined viewing angle,
wherein, based on the measured communication quality being within a second range having a communication quality poorer than a communication quality of a first range, a second viewing angle of a second VR image is determined to be smaller than a first viewing angle of a first VR image, and
wherein resolution of the first VR image with the first viewing angle is equal to resolution of the second VR image with the second viewing angle.
