Apparatus and method for controlling lane change in vehicle

Abstract

An apparatus for controlling a lane change in a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a sensor configured to sense an object located behind the vehicle and a control circuit configured to be electrically connected with the sensor. The control circuit is configured to receive sensing data from the sensor and switch a system for a lane change in the vehicle to a stand-by state, when an object located outside a specified distance backward from the vehicle is sensed by the sensor.
