EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE DURING POOR LIGHT CONDITIONS

摘要

A method of providing an early warning message to a driver of a first vehicle that a second vehicle is approaching is provided. The method includes receiving a communication signal from the second vehicle and determining a warning message based on the communication signal. The method also includes transmitting instructions to provide the warning message at a first time to a driver or an autonomous controller supported by the first vehicle. The method includes determining a headlight status of the second vehicle based on the communication signal. Additionally, the method includes receiving sensor system data from a sensor system supported by the first vehicle. The method also includes transmitting instructions to provide the warning message at a second time being earlier than the first time when the headlight status is OFF and the sensor system data is below a predetermined threshold.
