Abstract
A vehicle includes: a capturer configured to obtain height information of a preceding vehicle; a sensor configured to obtain at least one of position information or speed information of the preceding vehicle and a leading vehicle; and a controller configured to determine a first distance between the preceding vehicle and a subject vehicle, to determine a second distance between the preceding vehicle and the leading vehicle, to determine an acceleration of the preceding vehicle based on a relative speed and a relative distance of the preceding vehicle and the leading vehicle, and to control at least one of braking or steering of the subject vehicle when the second distance is less than or equal to a collision prediction distance between the preceding vehicle and the leading vehicle and the acceleration of the preceding vehicle is less than a predetermined value.
