SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION OF VEHICLE

A system and method for performing autonomous navigation of a vehicle are disclosed, which recognize a possibility of collision risk through path estimation of a target vehicle, and generate an autonomous navigation path. The autonomous navigation system for a vehicle includes: a target-vehicle information detection unit configured to detect traveling information of a target vehicle; and a path generation unit configured to estimate movement of the target vehicle on the basis of the information received from the target-vehicle information detection unit, calculate a collision risk value by recognizing a possibility of collision risk between an ego-vehicle and the target vehicle, and generate an autonomous navigation path of the ego-vehicle.
