receive braking information of each of the interest vehicles from the respective interest vehicles; and
control braking of the subject vehicle based on the braking information received from each of the interest vehicles; and
a transmitter configured to transmit the braking information of one or more of the interest vehicles to a following vehicle when the braking information of the respective one or more interest vehicles received exceeds a reference value,
wherein the processor is further configured to determine whether wireless communication of a following vehicle adjacent to the subject vehicle is possible,
wherein when it is determined that wireless communication of the following vehicle adjacent to the subject vehicle is impossible and braking information of one or more of the far-away vehicles exceeds the reference value, the processor is configured to set a passenger protection device for protecting a passenger into a standby mode.
