A blind spot warning system is provided for a motor vehicle having a longitudinal axis and a steering shaft. The system includes a steering angle sensor (SAS), which is coupled to the steering shaft and generates a steering signal associated with a wheel angle in response to the steering shaft rotating. The system further includes a computer having one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions. The processor is programmed to determine a blind spot region extending from a sideview mirror of the motor vehicle and based on the wheel angle. The processor is further programmed to generate an actuation signal associated with the blind spot region. The system further includes one or more light projectors that project a light onto a roadway adjacent to the motor vehicle to indicate a current size and a current location of the blind spot region.
