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.

Vehicle systems and methods for monitoring and determining locations of external objects

A driver monitoring system for a vehicle and method of operating the driver operating system. The method, in one implementation, involves receiving a plurality of glance aim points for a driver of the vehicle; inputting the plurality of glance aim points into a predictive probability of distraction model to obtain a predictive distraction distribution; determining whether one or more informative glance locations are present in the plurality of glance aim points; comparing the predictive distraction distribution to a predictive distraction distribution threshold when one or more informative glance locations are present in the plurality of glance aim points; and alerting the driver when the predictive distraction distribution satisfies or exceeds the predictive distraction distribution threshold.
