US Patent 10328851 Vehicle and control method thereof

Disclosed are a vehicle and a control method thereof, and more particularly, a technique for acquiring location information of a pedestrian near a vehicle, predicting a movement path of the pedestrian, and outputting warning sounds in a direction toward where the pedestrian is moving. The vehicle includes an imaging device configured to capture an image of a pedestrian near the vehicle, a detection sensor configured to acquire location information of the pedestrian, a controller configured to predict a movement route of the pedestrian based on the acquired location information of the pedestrian and generate a control signal for outputting warning sounds in a direction toward where the pedestrian is moving based on the predicted movement route of the pedestrian; and a speaker array configured to output the warning sounds in the direction toward where the pedestrian is moving based on the generated control signal.
