Abstract
A collision mitigation system for a vehicle may include a forward sensing system and at least one controller in communication with the forward sensing system. The forward sensing system may be configured to detect objects in front of the vehicle. The at least one controller may be configured to determine whether the vehicle can be steered into a path along side of the vehicle to avoid a collision with detected objects in front of the vehicle and to issue a command to brake the vehicle if the vehicle cannot be steered into the path along side of the vehicle.
