Abstract
A driver assistance system (DAS) for a vehicle avoids collision between a vehicle and a preceding object using emergency steering of the vehicle. The DAS includes forward-view sensors and a corner sensor mounted to a vehicle. A controller is provided with a processor to process the forward-view image data, the forward-view sensing data, and the side-view sensing data. The controller detects both a preceding object located in a region forward of the vehicle and a side object located in a region on the side of the vehicle in response to a result of processing the forward-view image data, the forward-view sensing data, and the side-view sensing data. In response to a collision between the vehicle and the preceding object being predicted and the region on the side of the vehicle being free of the side object, the controller outputs a steering signal to a steering device of the vehicle.
