a driving determination device determining driving intention of the vehicle and checking whether the vehicle turns; and a controller resetting the monitoring area of the rear sensing device according to a turning angle of the vehicle when the driving determination device confirms that the vehicle turns. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The rear lateral sensing system of the vehicle according to claim 1 further comprising a front sensing device checking a road condition in front of the vehicle, wherein the driving determination device receives information on lanes inputted through the front sensing device and further checks whether the vehicle turns and changes lanes, and the controller resets the monitoring area of the rear sensing device according to the turning angle of the vehicle when the vehicle changes lanes. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The rear lateral sensing system of the vehicle according to claim 2, wherein, when the vehicle turns, the driving determination device checks whether the vehicle changes lanes based on the turning angle and a driving speed of the vehicle in a turning direction. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The rear lateral sensing system of the vehicle according to claim 2, wherein the controller checks whether the monitoring area is normally set by setting the monitoring area with monitoring lines defined based on preset monitoring points and checking whether an arbitrary point is located in the monitoring area. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The rear lateral sensing system according to claim 4, wherein the controller causes the rear sensing device to detect the rear vehicle in the preset monitoring area when the driving determination device confirms that the vehicle drives straight ahead. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The rear lateral sensing system of the vehicle according to claim 4, wherein the controller resets the monitoring area by adjusting the monitoring points according to the turning angle and defining the monitoring lines based on the adjusted monitoring points when the driving determination device confirms that the vehicle turns. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The rear lateral sensing system of the vehicle according to claim 6, wherein the controller checks whether the reset monitoring area is normally set by checking whether an arbitrary point is located in the reset monitoring area. ### Claim 8 A rear lateral sensing method of a vehicle, comprising: a rear sensing step of detecting a rear vehicle entering a monitoring area set in the rear of the vehicle; a driving determination step of determining driving intention of the vehicle and checking whether the vehicle turns; and a control step of resetting the monitoring area in the rear sensing step according to a turning angle of the vehicle when the vehicle is confirmed to turn in the driving determination step. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The rear lateral sensing method of the vehicle according to claim 8 further comprising a front sensing step of checking a current driving lane in front of the vehicle, wherein whether the vehicle turns and changes lanes is further checked in the driving determination step, and the monitoring area is reset according to the turning angle of the vehicle when the vehicle turns in the control step. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The rear lateral sensing method of the vehicle according to claim 9, wherein, when the vehicle turns, whether the vehicle changes lanes is checked based on the turning angle and a driving speed of the vehicle in a turning direction in the driving determination step. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The rear lateral sensing method of the vehicle according to claim 8, wherein whether the monitoring area is normally set is checked by setting the monitoring area with the monitoring lines defined based on the preset monitoring points and checking whether an arbitrary point is located in the monitoring area in the control step. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The rear lateral sensing method of the vehicle according to claim 11, wherein the rear vehicle is detected in the preset monitoring area in the control step when the vehicle is confirmed to drive straight ahead in the driving determination step. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The rear lateral sensing method of the vehicle according to claim 11, wherein the monitoring area is reset by adjusting the monitoring points according to the turning angle and defining the monitoring lines based on the adjusted monitoring points in the control step when the vehicle is confirmed to turn in the driving determination step. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The rear lateral sensing method of the vehicle according to claim 13, wherein whether the reset monitoring area is normally set is checked by checking whether an arbitrary point is located in the reset monitoring area in the control step.
