12. A vehicle comprising:
-
at least one sensor configured to detect objects in a zone adjacent the vehicle and send sensor data; and a controller programmed to receive the sensor data, receive a navigational route, and in response to the vehicle being at a first distance from a next turn of the navigational route, (i) check a predefined subset of the zones for another vehicle that is selected to be on a same side of the vehicle as a direction of the turn, and (ii) generate a collision alert if another vehicle is within the predefined subset. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
