First Claim
Patent Images
1. A collision mitigation system for a vehicle comprising:
- a forward sensing system configured to detect objects in front of the vehicle; and
at least one controller in communication with the forward sensing system and configured (i) to determine whether the vehicle can be steered into a path along side of the vehicle to avoid a collision with detected objects in front of the vehicle and (ii) to issue a command to brake the vehicle if the vehicle cannot be steered into the path along side of the vehicle.

Abstract
A collision mitigation system for a vehicle may include a forward sensing system and at least one controller in communication with the forward sensing system. The forward sensing system may be configured to detect objects in front of the vehicle. The at least one controller may be configured to determine whether the vehicle can be steered into a path along side of the vehicle to avoid a collision with detected objects in front of the vehicle and to issue a command to brake the vehicle if the vehicle cannot be steered into the path along side of the vehicle.

7. A method for braking a vehicle comprising:
-
detecting an object in front of the vehicle; determining whether the vehicle can be steered into a lane adjacent to the vehicle to avoid a collision with the detected object; and automatically issuing a brake command to brake the vehicle if the vehicle cannot be steered into the lane adjacent to the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
