A motor vehicle system for generating and transmitting motor vehicle imaging object data includes a communication system module positioned in a host vehicle receiving vehicle attribute data during host vehicle highway travel and preparing a fused object attribute data for transmission. An imaging device collects object imaging data representing objects within a visible detection range of the imaging device. An object detection and classification system module has an object classification sub-module used to classify the objects within the visible detection range as a vehicle type or a pedestrian and to output each as an object attribute data. A target fusion module receives the object attribute data from the object detection and classification system module, fuses the object attribute data with the vehicle attribute data to create the fused object attribute data, and forwards the fused object attribute data to the communication system module for transmission.

A method of generating and communicating lane information from a host vehicle to a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) network includes collecting visual data from a camera, detecting a lane within the visual data, generating a lane classification for the lane based on the visual data, assigning a confidence level to the lane classification, generating a lane distance estimate from the visual data, generating a lane model from the lane classification and the lane distance estimate, and transmitting the lane model and the confidence level to the V2V network.

A system for displaying an image on a display device of a motor vehicle includes a rear-view camera connected to a moveable component on the motor vehicle and a controller in communication with the rear-view camera. The controller has memory for storing control logic and a processor configured to execute the control logic. The control logic includes capturing a field of view image from the rear-view camera, determining a position of the rear-view camera, determining an image perspective relationship of the field of view image based on the position of the rear-view camera, modifying the field of view image based on the image perspective relationship to create a virtual perspective image, and displaying the virtual perspective image on the display device in the motor vehicle as the position of the rear-view camera changes between at least a first position and a second position.

Dynamic perspective shifting system and method

A motor vehicle alert system based on vehicle dynamics input includes a communication module positioned in a host vehicle receiving and sending vehicle data in a vehicle mobility data format. A list generator in communication with the communication module generates the vehicle data as specific vehicle identification data in a track list to distinguish a sensed vehicle and at least one other vehicle positioned proximate the host vehicle. A tracker module in communication with the list generator periodically updates the vehicle data for the sensed vehicle and the at least one other vehicle. A transient condition data device generates data identifying when a transient condition of the sensed vehicle is present. A message standard conformance module receives the data identifying the transient condition and forwards the data identifying the transient condition to the communication module for transmission to the at least one other vehicle proximate to the host vehicle.

A method for projecting information from a motor vehicle to an observer external to the motor vehicle includes receiving, by a controller, a data signal indicative of an operating state of the motor vehicle from a sensor, determining, using the controller, a projection profile based on the data signal which includes a dynamic feature and indicative of a status of the motor vehicle, and continuously projecting the projection profile onto a surface on which the motor vehicle is traveling using a dynamic projector system that animates the dynamic feature.

A motor vehicle system for generating and transmitting detected object attributes includes a communication system module positioned in a host vehicle receiving vehicle attribute data from a target vehicle and a sensed vehicle and preparing a fused object attribute data for transmission to the target vehicle. A vehicle track data sub-module in communication with the communication system module independently tracks the sensed vehicle and the target vehicle. An object detection and classification system module having a 3D object detection module identifies a vehicle type defined at least by a vehicle size and generates an object attribute data. A target fusion module receives the object attribute data from the object detection and classification system module, fuses the object attribute data with the vehicle attribute data to create the fused object attribute data, and forwards the fused object attribute data to the communication system module for transmission.

A method of operating a multi-mode drive system that precisely orchestrates a shift between gear ratios in a power take off unit and a rear drive module. The method first shifts between gear ratios in the power take off unit and then, depending upon the success or failure of the shift of the power take off unit, shifts between gear ratios in the rear drive module.
