Abstract
A vehicle includes: a sensor for measuring a relative position and a relative speed between an obstacle and the vehicle; an injector for injecting a deforming material which is solidified during injection to absorb an impact and enhance coupling strength at a portion to which the deforming material is attached; and a controller configured to determine a collision probability with the obstacle based on the measured relative position and the measured relative speed, to determine a predicted collision position when the collision probability reaches a reference collision probability, to determine an injection direction of the injector based on the predicted collision position, and to control the injector to inject the deforming material in the determined injection direction.
