Claim 0:
1. A system for avoiding a blind spot using accident history information, the system comprising:
an image sensor configured to provide image information by acquiring a surrounding image of a host vehicle; and
a vehicle controller configured to:
detect, through the image sensor, an adjacent vehicle traveling adjacent to the host vehicle and a license plate of the adjacent vehicle;
determine 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; and
generate 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,

wherein the vehicle controller comprises
a blind spot range generator configured to detect the adjacent vehicle traveling adjacent to the host vehicle, based on the image information received through the image sensor, and determine a default blind spot range, wherein the blind spot range generator comprises:
a host vehicle information storage configured to store data of the host vehicle, including a total height of the host vehicle and a roof area of the host vehicle; and
a blind spot range determining device configured to determine 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.
