A system 100 for a vehicle is provided whose responses depend on conditions in front and behind the vehicle. Data is collected from vehicle radar sensors 110a and cameras 110b to generate a virtual map of objects proximate to the vehicle. Based on the virtual map, an in-vehicle computer 106 determines a traffic condition in front of and behind the host vehicle. The computer determines collision avoidance maneuvers. The computer 106 instructs vehicle control units 125a-125f to implement the collision avoidance maneuvers. The computer 106 may additionally or alternatively communicate the collision avoidance maneuvers to a driver via an interface 120. In the case of unavoidable collisions, the computer 106 determines and initiates damage mitigation actions such as braking at less than a maximum level.
