Claim 7:
8. A method for avoiding a blind spot using accident history information, the method comprising:
providing image information by acquiring a surrounding image of a host vehicle through an image sensor;
detecting, by a vehicle controller, an adjacent vehicle traveling adjacent to the host vehicle and a license plate of the adjacent vehicle;
determining a dangerous level of the blind spot of the adjacent vehicle, based on accident history information of the adjacent vehicle and driver tendency information of a driver of the adjacent vehicle obtained by inquiring about the license plate of the adjacent vehicle, after determining a blind spot range of the adjacent vehicle;
generating a path in which the host vehicle deviates from the blind spot or avoids the blind spot to reduce the dangerous level of the blind spot, based on a traveling situation of the host vehicle; and
detecting, by a blind spot range generator, the adjacent vehicle traveling adjacent to the host vehicle, based on the image information received through the image sensor, and determining a default blind spot range of the adjacent vehicle,
wherein the determining of the dangerous level of the blind spot comprises:
storing, by a host vehicle information storage, data of the host vehicle, including a total height of the host vehicle and a roof area of the host vehicle; and
determining, by a blind spot range determining device, the default blind spot range, based on any one or any combination of any two or more of a height of the adjacent vehicle, the total height of the host vehicle, and the roof area of the host vehicle.
