in response to processing at least one of the side detection data, the rear image data, and the rear detection data, detect a rear side object located at a rear side of the vehicle; and

output the steering signal of the steering device of the vehicle or the warning signal of the vehicle based on the detection of the rear side object.

5. The driver assistance system according to claim 4 , wherein, based on the rear side object being detected, the controller is configured to output the warning signal of the vehicle.

6. The driver assistance system according to claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to:

in response to processing at least one of the side detection data, the front image data, and the front detection data, detect a front side object located on the front side of the vehicle; and

in response to the front side object and the rear side object not being detected, output the steering signal of the steering device.

7. The driver assistance system according to claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to:

calculate a relative speed of the vehicle based on the rear side object; and

in response to the relative speed being less than a predetermined value, output the warning signal of the vehicle.

8. The driver assistance system according to claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to:

calculate a relative speed of the vehicle based on the rear side object; and

in response to the relative speed being greater than or equal to a predetermined value, output the steering signal of the steering device.

9. The driver assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

detect a front object located in front of the vehicle and a front side object located on a front side of the vehicle; and

in response to the front object being not detected and the front side object being detected, select the front side object as an adaptive cruise control (ACC) control target.

10. The driver assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

detect a front object located in front of the vehicle and a front side object located on a front side of the vehicle;

in response to the detection of the front object and the front side object, calculate a relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the front object and a relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the front side object; and

in response to the relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the front side object being greater than the relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the front object, select the front side object as an ACC control target.

11. The driver assistance system according to claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to control an acceleration or speed of the vehicle to maintain a certain distance between the vehicle and the front side object.

12. The driver assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

detect the front object and the front side object;

in response to the detection of the front object and the front side object, calculate a relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the front object and a relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the front side object; and

in response to the relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the front side object being less than the relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the front object, select the front object as an ACC control target.

13. The driver assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein, in response to the reduction of the distance between the front object and the vehicle, the controller is configured to output a steering signal of the steering device of the vehicle.

14. The driver assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
