1. A vehicle comprising:
a sensor including a camera and a radar, and configured to obtain first motion information of an object, the first motion information including at least a relative distance and relative speed of the object with respect to the vehicle;
a navigator including a GPS receiver configured to acquire satellite signals and thereby obtain current location information of the vehicle through a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite;
a memory storing a precise map database, the precise map database including statistical motion data of a plurality of other vehicles correlated with map locations of a precise map;
a controller electrically connected to the sensor, the navigator and the memory, the controller including at least one processor configured to:
process the current location information of the vehicle and the first motion information of the object;
convert the first motion information of the object into first absolute coordinates on the precise map based on the current location information of the vehicle;
receive, from the precise map database, an expected motion value of the object corresponding to the current location information of the vehicle, wherein the expected motion value is represented as second absolute coordinates on the precise map and corresponds to a statistical value derived from accumulated historical motion data, including positions and speeds, of the plurality of other vehicles that previously passed through a corresponding area represented on the precise map;
compare the first absolute coordinates representing a motion of the object with the second absolute coordinates representing the expected motion value to determine a difference value therebetween;
identify the object as a dangerous object when the difference value is greater than or equal to a predetermined value;
control a human machine interface (HMI) device of the vehicle to display information indicating the identified dangerous object, wherein the HMI device is configured to visually represent the vehicle and the identified dangerous object on the precise map; and
control the vehicle to steer away from the identified dangerous object.
