Abstract: A method for providing information to an occupant of a vehicle includes training a machine learning algorithm to receive a nighttime image as an input and produce an enhanced image as an output. The method also includes capturing the nighttime image of an environment surrounding the vehicle using a camera of the vehicle. The method also includes enhancing the nighttime image using the machine learning algorithm to produce the enhanced image. The method also includes identifying an object of interest in the enhanced image using a computer vision algorithm. The method also includes notifying the occupant of the vehicle about the object of interest.

Abstract: A door handle locator system for a vehicle includes one or more modalities that provide sensory feedback to a user indicating a location of a door handle that is part of a door of the vehicle. The door handle locator system also includes one or more controllers in electronic communication with the one or more modalities. The one or more controllers execute instructions to receive a wireless signal indicating a location of the user with respect to the vehicle. The one or more controllers determine the user is approaching the vehicle based on the location of the user with respect to the vehicle. In response to determining the user is approaching the vehicle, the one or more controllers instruct the one or more modalities to provide the sensory feedback to the user indicating the location of the door handle.
