Abstract

An apparatus may include a radar module configured to provide information on an object around a vehicle and a controller configured to control at least one of a driving system, a braking system, and a steering system of the vehicle on the basis of the information on the object. The radar module may include a first antenna module installed at a front side of the vehicle, having a forward sensing area of the vehicle, and configured to obtain first radar data and a processor configured to obtain information on the object around the vehicle on the basis of processing the first radar data. The first antenna module may include a first substrate facing a front-right direction of the vehicle and a second substrate facing a front-left direction of the vehicle.
