Abstract
A method for providing driving assistance by detecting and warning against areas on one or other side of the road which are obscured by vehicles in other lanes is based on a HD map and includes acquiring location and driving speed of a vehicle which is carrying an apparatus applying the method. The system of the method includes at least one sensor, and environmental information as to surroundings is acquired with location. The speeds of other vehicles relative to the driving speed of the vehicle are calculated, and an instruction to the driver is generated the speed of the vehicle is less than a first predefined value but the speed of the vehicle relative to the driving speeds of the other vehicles is larger than a second predefined value. The apparatus applying the method is also disclosed.
