A vehicle includes: a transceiver configured to communicate with another vehicle; an acceleration sensor configured to detect an impact of the vehicle; a camera configured to acquire first image data of an external field of view of the vehicle; and a controller configured to determine whether an impact of the vehicle with a first vehicle has occurred based on an output value of the acceleration sensor, perform image processing for the first vehicle that generated the impact of the vehicle based on the first image data when is the controller determines that the impact of the vehicle has occurred, and to control the transceiver to request the another vehicle for second image data corresponding to an occurrence time of the impact of the vehicle when the plate number of the first vehicle is not identified based on the image processing.

Vehicle and control method thereof

A vehicle is provided to execute different modes based on a start signal. A parking-video recording mode is executed by turning on a first switch connected to a first battery to supply electric power of the first battery to a video recording device, identifying a charging amount of the first battery, turning on a third switch connected to a second battery to supply electric power of the second battery to the video recording device when the identified charging amount is less than a first reference charging amount, identifying a charging amount of the second battery, and terminating the parking-video recording mode when the identified charging amount of the second battery is less than a second reference charging amount. A traveling-video recording mode is executed by turning on a second switch connected to a generator to supply electric power generated by the generator to the video recording device.

Vehicle and method of controlling the same

A vehicle and a control method for providing a notification of a collision of a vehicle and providing information on an object causing the collision are provided. The vehicle includes a communication unit communicating with a user terminal, a sensor acquiring distance information between the vehicle and at least one surrounding object and acceleration information of the vehicle, and a camera acquiring a vehicle surrounding image. A controller starts acquiring the vehicle surrounding image when the distance between the vehicle and the at least one surrounding object is less than a predetermined distance, acquires information about the at least one surrounding object approaching the vehicle and transmits the information about the at least one surrounding object to the user terminal.

A system of controlling an adjustable spoiler includes an ignition detector configured to detect whether an engine is turned on or off. A vehicle speed detector is configured to detect a vehicle speed. A weight detector is configured to detect a vehicle weight that is changed when the number of passengers or the amount of loaded freight is increased or decreased. A controller is configured to determine variation of the vehicle weight, set an extension reference speed and a retraction reference speed of the adjustable spoiler based on the variation of the vehicle weight, and extend or retract the adjustable spoiler trough an actuator.
