1. A vehicle driving assistance system on board a vehicle, the vehicle driving assistance system comprising:
a scanning system configured to scan for target entities in at least one lane to a side of the vehicle and to provide target entity information that includes indications of positions of the target entities; and
a data processing system connected to the scanning system to receive the target entity information, the data processing system being configured to:
determine, based on the target entity information and vehicle information indicative of a state of the vehicle, a collision likelihood of a collision between a particular target entity and the vehicle;
cause at least one motion control system of the vehicle to impede motion of the vehicle based on the collision likelihood being above a threshold likelihood; and
allow, at a second time and based on a quantity of target entities detected by the scanning system within a pre-defined time period being above a pre-defined threshold, a driver of the vehicle to move the vehicle.
