Claim:
1. A rear cross traffic avoidance system comprising: an object detection device sensing remote objects rearward of a host vehicle; an object classifier distinguishing a remote dynamic object from remote static objects, the object classifier identifying a shape of the dynamic object; a tracking system tracking the remote dynamic object, wherein the remote dynamic object forms a cluster; a processor determining the remote dynamic object being on an intersecting path to the remote vehicle, the processor determining a warning threat assessment as a function of a time to intersect between the host vehicle and the remote dynamic object, the processor determining a brake threat assessment in response to an actuated warning of a collision; and a brake actuation system actuating a braking operation for mitigating the collision; wherein the cluster is continuously tracked if a determination is made that the tracked cluster moves at least a predetermined distance from an initial position.
