Abstract
An on-board system of a vehicle scans for target entities in at least one lane to a side of the vehicle and determines position and state of motion of detected target entities. From a state of the vehicle, an intention is inferred of a driver to move the vehicle into one of the at least one lane. If the on-board system detects a risk of collision between a target entity and the vehicle, then the motion of the vehicle is impeded by the system applying brakes of the vehicle and/or reducing a driving torque of the vehicle. A speed of the vehicle is monitored and a motion of the vehicle is not impeded if the speed of the vehicle is above a threshold speed.
