Abstract

A vehicle, which adjusts a collision warning time based on driver's field of view and visibility of the object, is provided. The vehicle includes: a distance sensor that collects data of an object, a camera that collects image data, a driver recognition sensor that collects driver's facial data, and a controller that analyzes driver's gaze and field of view using the driver's facial data, analyzes visibility of the object using the image data, and calculates a collision warning time based on a result of analyzing the driver's gaze and field of view and the visibility of the object, and an alarm device that informs the driver of the risk of collision at the collision warning time under the control of the controller.
