Abstract
An apparatus for assisting driving of a vehicle includes a camera mounted to the vehicle for viewing an area in front of the vehicle, a radar sensor mounted to the vehicle to sense around the vehicle, and a controller connected to the camera and/or the radar sensor to detect obstacles and perform collision avoidance control. The controller is further configured to recognize a first obstacle approaching in a lateral direction from an outside of a driving lane of the vehicle, generate and store a collision avoidance path for avoiding collision with the first obstacle, recognize a third obstacle passing behind a second obstacle in the lateral direction after the recognition of the first obstacle is interrupted by the second obstacle, and perform collision avoidance control of the vehicle based on a similarity between the first obstacle and the third obstacle and based on the stored collision avoidance path.
