1. A vehicle as a host vehicle comprising:
a sensor unit including at least any of a camera, a lidar, and a radar;
a saddle-type vehicle detector configured to detect a saddle-type vehicle traveling in front of or alongside the host vehicle in a direction in which the host vehicle moves, based on a detection signal of the sensor unit;
an on-board communication processor capable of communicating wirelessly with a saddle-type vehicle's communication device mounted on the saddle-type vehicle; and
a controller configured to determine whether the host vehicle is at a right blind spot or a left blind spot of the saddle-type vehicle, based on a detection result of the saddle-type vehicle detector, and transmit a warning notification from the on-board communication processor to the saddle-type vehicle's communication device via wireless communication when determining that the host vehicle is at the right or left blind spot, wherein
the warning notification includes information that activates an alarm device mounted on the saddle-type vehicle to alert the rider of the saddle-type vehicle whether the host vehicle exists in the right or left blind spot.
