1. A collision avoidance system comprising:

  • a rear detection device arranged in a host vehicle and capable of detecting an object directly behind the host vehicle, an object to rear-right of the host vehicle, and an object to rear-left of the host vehicle in a non-contact manner;

    a computation processing unit that, on a basis of a detection result from the rear detection device, outputs presence/absence of a possibility of a collision between the host vehicle and a first following vehicle approaching the host vehicle from directly behind, presence/absence of a possibility of a collision between the host vehicle and a second following vehicle approaching the host vehicle from the rear-right, and presence/absence of a possibility of a collision between the host vehicle and a third following vehicle approaching the host vehicle from the rear-left; and

    a warning device that, on a basis of an output result from the computation processing unit, generates a first warning when there is the possibility of a collision with the first following vehicle, generates a second warning when there is the possibility of a collision with the second following vehicle, and generates a third warning when there is the possibility of a collision with the third following vehicle.
