A vehicle includes an inertial sensor configured to measure a speed, a steering angle, and a yaw rate, a camera configured to acquire image data, a radar configured to acquire a radar data, and a safety device including an air bag and a seat belt pretensioner. A controller is configured to predict a collision with a first object located at the outside of the vehicle based on the image data or the radar data, predict a collision with a second object that is likely to occur after the collision with the first object based on an angle of reflection predicted at a time of the collision with the first object, and lower a deployment threshold that is compared with a collision severity such that the safety device is deployed before the collision with the second object.
