Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are disclosed for providing a mixed-reality scene. In response to a pedestrian detection event at a first vehicle, a sequence of mixed-reality images is presented to a driver of a second vehicle. At least one image in the sequence of mixed-reality images results from merging (a) an image captured by a camera aboard the first vehicle and (b) an image captured by a camera aboard the second vehicle. The merging may comprise de-emphasizing an occluded portion of the image captured by the camera aboard the second vehicle and emphasizing an unoccluded portion of the image captured by the camera aboard the first vehicle. The unoccluded portion of the image captured by the camera aboard the first vehicle may provide, in the merged image, visibility of a pedestrian at least partially blocked from a view of the driver of the second vehicle.

Mixed reality view for enhancing pedestrian safety

A method and corresponding apparatus involve monitoring, by a first motor vehicle, a position of a second motor vehicle in an adjacent lane and performing an automated safety routine. The safety routine includes determining, based on sensor data, whether the vehicles are maintaining a same speed and determining whether the first motor vehicle can switch to the adjacent lane without colliding with the second motor vehicle. If the vehicles are maintaining the same speed and the first motor vehicle cannot switch to the adjacent lane, a longitudinal offset is set based on the sensor data and established by automatically decreasing the speed of the first motor vehicle. The speed of the first motor vehicle is automatically adjusted to maintain at least the longitudinal offset until the first motor vehicle can switch to the adjacent lane without colliding with the second motor vehicle.
