An apparatus for a vehicle for protection of a colliding object is
provided, which includes one of a collision prediction module that
delivers a precautionary signal when the collision prediction module
predicts a collision of the vehicle with the object and a collision
detection module that delivers a collision signal when the collision
detection module detects the collision, an air bag which deploys on
either a hood of the vehicle or an outside of its windshield when the
collision is either predicted by the collision prediction module or
detected by the collision detection module, a camera for taking a forward
image of the vehicle and a monitor disposed in a cabin of the vehicle. In
the apparatus, the monitor displays the image taken by the camera when
the monitor receives one of the precautionary signal and the collision
signal.
