    Abstract: A method includes determining that the vehicle is approaching a garage and receiving a video from a garage camera and determining a frame difference per pixel with respect to time as the vehicle moves into the garage and counting a number of rows of pixels with no changes as the vehicle moves into the garage using the frame difference per pixel. Further, the method includes comparing the number of rows of pixels with no changes as the vehicle moves into the garage with a predetermined row threshold to determine whether the number of rows of pixels with no changes with respect to time as the vehicle moves into the garage is less than or equal to the predetermined row threshold and commanding a display to provide a notification indicative that the vehicle is properly parked in the garage.

    Abstract: A hidden road parameter detection system is provided with a host vehicle. The system includes a remote vehicle having one or more remote input devices generating one or more remote input signals associated with data indicative of a host vehicle, the road parameter, and/or an obstruction blocking a line of sight between the host vehicle and the road parameter. The system further includes a computer having one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, such that the processor is programmed to compare a classification of the obstruction. The processor is further programmed to generate an actuation signal in response to the processor determining that the obstruction is blocking the line of sight from the host vehicle to the road parameter. The host vehicle includes one or more notification devices notifying an occupant of the host vehicle of the road parameter.

    Abstract: A system for enhancing occupant awareness for a vehicle includes a display for displaying information to the occupant of the vehicle and a controller in electrical communication with the display. The controller is programmed to determine an activation state of the system. The activation state includes an activated state and a deactivated state. The controller is further programmed to determine a clearance distance between the vehicle and an object in an environment surrounding the vehicle in response to determining that the activation state is the activated state. The controller is further programmed to display a notification to the occupant of the vehicle based at least in part on the clearance distance.

    Abstract: A warning system is provided for alerting a Vulnerable Road User (VRU) of a predicted collision. The system includes one or more input devices for transmitting a first input signal associated with a first vehicle positioned in a first lane, a second input signal associated with a second vehicle positioned in a second lane, and a third input signal associated with the VRU located on a crosswalk that extends across the first and second lanes. The system further includes a computer having a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The processor is programmed to determine the predicted collision between the second vehicle and the VRU at a predicted collision site. The processor is further programmed to generate an actuation signal. One or more roadway notification devices notify the VRU that the second vehicle is positioned in the second lane and headed toward the predicted collision site in the crosswalk.

    Abstract: A vehicle includes a traffic light indication system (system) with one or more input devices for generating a status input signal associated with a status of a traffic light. The input devices further generate an overriding input signal associated with a hazardous driving condition. The system further includes a notification device for providing a traffic light notification to the user. The system further includes a computer having a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium (CRM) storing instructions. The processor is programmed to generate an actuation signal based on the status input signal. The processor is further programmed to refrain from generating the actuation signal, in response to the processor determining the predicted collision based on the status input signal and the overriding input signal. The notification device provides the traffic light notification to the user, in response to the notification device receiving the actuation signal.

    Abstract: A system for detecting and mitigating window condensation for a vehicle includes an interior camera and a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The system also includes a controller in electrical communication with the interior camera and the HVAC system. The controller is programmed to determine an opacity of a first window of the vehicle using the interior camera, compare the opacity of the first window to an opacity threshold, and adjust the HVAC system to decrease the opacity of the first window of the vehicle in response to determining that the opacity of the first window is greater than or equal to the opacity threshold.
