The method comprises a step () of intervention decision adapted to decide whether to trigger the intervention of the collision avoidance system at a current time instant (T) or to postpone said intervention decision at a later time instant (T) depending upon additional first and second information to be acquired between the current time instant (T) and the later time instant (T), said additional first and second information having an associated probability. The invention also concerns an associated system of driving assistance.
