An video analysis computing system driving analysis may include a camera associated with a first vehicle and having a viewing angle capable of capturing a video of one or more other vehicles in proximity to the first vehicle, a first memory location communicatively coupled to the camera, wherein the first memory location stores video data captured by the camera, and an evaluation module including a processor executing instructions that cause the processor to: evaluate the captured video stored in the first memory location to determine whether a driving event performed by a second vehicle has occurred, assign, in response to an identified driving event performed by the second vehicle, a driving event rating to a video showing the identified driving event, wherein the driving event rating may be calculated, at least in part, using a crowd-sourced driving event rating obtained after posting the video to a social network.

A driver nudge system is operated within a vehicle to indicate a warning to a driver of the vehicle. The system includes a steering wheel, a vehicle sensor monitoring an operating environment of the vehicle, and an electric motor connected to the steering wheel configured to nudge the steering wheel in an opposite direction to a threat diagnosed according to data from the vehicle sensor.

A surrounding area monitoring apparatus receives visual field information about a driver of a surrounding vehicle of a self vehicle, and decides whether the self vehicle is outside the visual field of the surrounding vehicle or not in accordance with the visual field information. Accordingly, it can learn the present dynamic visual field range of the driver of the surrounding vehicle actually traveling around the self vehicle, and obtain more accurate visual field range. Thus, it can appropriately give information that is really necessary and suppress giving unnecessary information.

An in-vehicle monitoring module included in a monitoring system includes a detector, a service operator, a controller, and a housing. The detector detects conditions in an inside of a vehicle. The service operator is provided to the vehicle. The controller can perform processing of determining the type of an event occurring in the inside of the vehicle based on the conditions in the inside of the vehicle detected by the detector, controlling the service operator based on the determined type of the event, and causing the service operator to perform an operation corresponding to the type of the event. The housing is provided with the detector, the service operator, and the controller to serve as a unit and provided on a roof member of the vehicle.

Provided is an apparatus and method for displaying side and rear images of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a network connection line connected to a communication network of a vehicle, and an Audio Video Navigation (AVN) connection line connected to the AVN. Here, as a certain event signal is broadcasted through the communication network of a vehicle, any one of one or more cameras is switched so as to be connected to the AVN, and a reverse gear signal is transmitted along a line directly connected to the AVN. The reverse gear signal is the same signal as a signal that is broadcasted through the communication network as a transmission becomes a reverse state.

A backup-assisting device which assists in the backing up of a vehicle by providing one or more visual and auditory aids. The one or more visual and auditory aids include at least an image sensor such as digital video camera, one or more illuminating devices such as one or more lights, a sound-generating device such as speaker.

A surrounding area monitoring apparatus receives visual field information about a driver of a surrounding vehicle of a self vehicle, and decides whether the self vehicle is outside the visual field of the surrounding vehicle or not in accordance with the visual field information. Accordingly, it can learn the present dynamic visual field range of the driver of the surrounding vehicle actually traveling around the self vehicle, and obtain more accurate visual field range. Thus, it can appropriately give information that is really necessary and suppress giving unnecessary information.

Systems and method for a driver assistance system including a surround view system are provided. In an example method for automatically selecting a virtual camera position in the surround view system, the method includes selecting one of the one or more vehicle surrounding the host vehicle as a threat vehicle based on at least one of a geographic position, and a velocity of the vehicle relative to one or more of a position, a heading, and a speed of the host vehicle. Based on the selected threat vehicle, the method includes selecting a virtual camera position such that the threat vehicle and a portion of the host vehicle are in view of a virtual camera, and displaying an image from the virtual camera position to a driver of the host vehicle.

The present invention provides a method and system of historical reaction based driver advanced assistance. In this method, a combination of external environment to a vehicle on which the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) is mounted fetched by forward looking cameras is combined with rear looking camera for internal environment or driver state, is generated. The generated combination is utilized to analyze is there is any critical situation that is upcoming. For providing feedback for such situation, processor within the ADAS transmits the current combination situation to a remote server that stores historical feedback and driver reactions for various combination of situations. For the current combination situation, a historical combination situation is fetched and corresponding feedbacks analyzed and an ideal feedback, that has comparatively least number of negative driver reactions, is determined.

Methods and systems are disclosed for vehicles configured for performing a self-parking operation without a human operator. The vehicle includes an on-board computer for receiving a wireless signal from a portable device. The wireless signal is configured to instruct the on-board computer to perform the self-parking operation. The on-board computer of the vehicle is configured for processing instructions to communicate with sensors of the vehicle, and the sensors are located along a front and a rear of the vehicle, and the sensors along the front and the rear include a combination of one or more cameras and ultrasonic sensors. The on-board computer is configured for receiving data from the combination of said one or more cameras and said ultrasonic sensors. The on-board computer is configured for determining that a space in front of said vehicle is clear to enable movement of the vehicle using said data from the combination of said camera and said ultrasonic sensors from said front of the vehicle. The on-board computer enabling the vehicle for movement forward toward a parking space, and while said vehicle is moving, continuing to determine that the space in front of said vehicle remains clear as the vehicle continues to move toward the parking space and stopping said movement while the space is determined to not be clear by way of a detected obstacle along a path of said movement. The on-board computer stops said vehicle upon detecting that the vehicle has arrived at a destination location for parking of said vehicle.
