Abstract
A vehicle controller and a method thereof are provided. The vehicle controller includes a processor that determines whether a driver has an intention to make a lane change using at least one of a steering angle condition, a gaze condition of the driver, or a driving pattern condition of the driver. The processor shares lane change information with a surrounding vehicle, when it is determined that the driver has the intention to make the lane change. The controller also has a storage storing data and an algorithm run by the processor.
