A collision avoidance system and method for a vehicle. The system includes a video camera and a distance sensor. The system includes a driver control, a vehicle control system, and a controller. The controller is communicatively coupled to the video camera, the distance sensor, the driver control, and the vehicle control system. The controller receives a first signal from the video camera indicative of the presence of the pedestrian and receives a second signal from the distance sensor indicative of the presence of the pedestrian. The controller determines a course deviation from a current path of travel of the vehicle and activates a timer. The controller resets the timer when the driver control receives an input from the driver that is above a threshold. When the driver input is below the threshold and the timer expires, the controller applies the course deviation using the vehicle control system.
