Abstract
A vehicle and method for controlling the same are provided to improve recognition performance of a camera by irradiating light from a headlamp to an object, which may be recognized by a detection sensor but not by the camera, thereby avoiding a collision by detecting the object using both the camera and detection sensor. The vehicle includes an optical sensor that detects illumination around the vehicle and a detection sensor that detects an object around the vehicle to obtain information regarding at least one of a position and speed of the object. A controller operates a headlamp to irradiate light toward the object based on the position information of the object when the detected illumination is less than a predetermined value.
