1. A vehicle collision avoidance device comprising:
a camera configured to capture a rear side image of a vehicle;
a radar configured to recognize an object present at a rear side of the vehicle; and
at least one processor electrically connected to the camera and the radar,
wherein the at least one processor
determines whether there is a static object at the rear side of the vehicle based on the rear side image obtained by the camera,
determines a position of the static object at the rear side of the vehicle when the static object is determined to be at the rear side of the vehicle,
determines an empty space present in a direction of travel of the vehicle, based on the rear side image obtained by the camera and the position of the static object,
determines whether to warn of a collision, based on a moving object outside the empty space and the static object, when the moving object is detected, and
determines not to warn of the collision when the moving object is determined to be unable to enter a reversible space due to a position of the static object that is located between the vehicle and the moving object.
