Abstract
A driver assistance system and method are disclosed. The driver assistance system includes a first sensor installed at a vehicle and configured to have a field of view directed forward from the vehicle to acquire front image data, a second sensor selected from a group of radar and LIDAR sensors, installed at the vehicle, and configured to have a field of view directed forward from the vehicle to acquire front detection data, and a controller having a processor configured to process the front image data and the front detection data, wherein the controller is configured to detect a lane, in which the vehicle is traveling, or detect a front object located in front of the vehicle, in response to the processing of the image data and the front detection data, output a braking signal to a braking system of the vehicle when a collision between the vehicle and the front object is expected, and output a steering signal to a steering system of the vehicle when a collision between the vehicle and the front object is expected even with braking control.
