Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing interior light illumination in a vehicle. Gaze data associated with an occupant of the vehicle is received from at least one gaze data sensor of the vehicle. The gaze direction of the occupant is determined based on the gaze data. A first light zone is identified from a plurality of light zones in the vehicle where the first light zone is in a line of sight associated with the gaze direction of the occupant. Each of the plurality of light zones includes at least one interior light. An illumination intensity level of the at least one interior light in the first light zone is adjusted from a first illumination intensity level to a second illumination intensity level, where the second illumination intensity level is greater than the first illumination intensity level.

Abstract: A method for low visibility driving includes receiving image data from a visible-light camera. The image data includes an image of an area in front of a vehicle. The method includes receiving sensor data from an object-detecting sensor. The object-detecting sensor is configured to detect an object in front of the vehicle. The sensor data includes information about the object in front of the vehicle. The method further includes detecting the object in front of the vehicle using the sensor data received from the object-detecting sensor and determining whether the visible-light camera is unable to detect the object in front of the vehicle that was detected by the object-detecting sensor. The method further includes commanding a display to generate a virtual image using the sensor data to identify the object in front of the vehicle.

Abstract: Vehicles and related systems and methods are provided for monitoring a vicinity of a vehicle. One method involves identifying, using an onboard sensor system, an object within a field of view of the sensor system, identifying a current geographic location of the vehicle using an onboard positioning system, determining an estimated geographic location of the detected object based at least in part on the current geographic location of the vehicle and the position of the detected object within the field of view of the sensor system, obtaining navigational map data for a region encompassing the current geographic location of the vehicle and the estimated geographic location of the detected object, and automatically providing a user notification. The user notification includes a navigational map of the region including a graphical indication of the detected object overlying the navigational map data at the estimated geographic location on the navigational map.
