A method for controlling a subject vehicle includes detecting an emergency vehicle located around the subject vehicle while the subject vehicle waiting for a traffic signal inside a stop line at an intersection, determining, based on a location of the emergency vehicle, that the subject vehicle needs to yield way to the emergency vehicle, checking a signal system through moving patterns of preceding vehicles, collecting lane entry routes of vehicles, determining a free zone outside the stop line by analyzing the entry routes of vehicles, and causing the subject vehicle to travel to the determined free zone.
