Disclosed are a system and method for controlling a vehicle. The system includes a vehicle that obtains driving information and a blind spot image, and transmits the driving information and the blind spot image, and a wearable device that receives the driving information and the blind spot image from the vehicle, and outputs the blind spot image based on the driving information and gaze information of a driver.

A vehicular child monitoring system includes a child monitoring device having a connector for securing the device within a motor vehicle and oriented toward a child seat. The device includes a mirror, a seat connector, a camera, and a control system having a wireless communication unit and a plurality of sensors. The sensors include a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a proximity sensor, and a child detection sensor. A child monitoring application is communicatively linked to the communication unit and includes functionality for displaying the information received from the camera and each of the sensors, and for determining a separation distance with the child monitoring device. The system including functionality for determining that a child is in the car seat and sending an alarm to an external device if the vehicle temperature is above a set threshold.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly having a driver monitoring camera and first and second near-infrared light emitting elements accommodated by a mirror head. The light emitting elements are oriented at the mirror head so that (i) a beam of light emitted by the first light emitting element would be directed toward a driver's region of a left hand drive vehicle if the mirror assembly were installed in the LHD vehicle, and (ii) a beam of light emitted by the second light emitting element would be directed toward a driver's region of a right hand drive vehicle if the mirror assembly were installed in the RHD vehicle. The system enables and/or operates the first or second light emitting element for a driver monitoring function responsive to indication that the mirror assembly is installed or will be installed in a LHD vehicle or a RHD vehicle.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed within a cabin of a vehicle equipped with the vehicular vision system and positionable to view within an interior cabin of the vehicle and positionable to view exterior of the vehicle through at least one window of the vehicle. The system includes an actuator disposed at the vehicle and electrically operable to rotate the camera about an axis relative to the vehicle. Multiple frames of image data captured by the camera as the camera rotates about the axis are processed at an ECU for a plurality of vehicle functions. Respective frames of image data of the multiple frames of captured image data are processed for respective vehicle functions of the plurality of vehicle functions based on respective viewing directions of the camera when the respective frames of image data are captured by the camera.

A control device in a motor vehicle receives a signal from a sensor device which includes at least one image of the current interior situation. The control device generates a superimposition signal containing the at least one image of the current interior situation and transmits the superimposition signal to a display element of a display apparatus. The display apparatus superimposes the at least one image of the current interior situation onto predefined output content output to a user.

An image processing apparatus 10 includes an output unit 14 and a processor 16. The output unit 14 outputs to a movable object 12 information indicating an action to be performed by the movable object 12. The processor 16 determines a first action of the movable object 12 based on a state of a target, the state being sensed in imagery of a region around the movable object 12. The processor 16 causes the output unit 14 to output information indicating the first action. The processor 16 determines a second action of the movable object 12 based on a state of the target, the state being sensed in imagery of the region around the movable object 12, the imagery being captured after the first action of the movable object 12. The processor 16 causes the output unit 14 to output information indicating the second action at a time depending on a speed of a predetermined motion of the target. The predetermined motion of the target is a motion that the target makes before the first action is determined or after the first action of the movable object 12.
