A rear cross traffic avoidance system includes an object detection device sensing remote objects rearward of a host vehicle. An object classifier distinguishes a remote dynamic object from remote static objects. The object classifier identifies a shape of the dynamic object. A tracking system tracks the remote dynamic object. A processor determines the remote object being on an intersecting path to the remote vehicle. The processor determines a warning threat assessment as a function of a time to intersect between the host vehicle and the remote dynamic object. The processor determines a brake threat assessment in response to an actuated warning of a collision. A brake actuation system actuates a braking operation for mitigating the collision.
