The disclosure includes embodiments for modifying a performance of a vehicle component whose performance is affected by a vehicle fluid that is contaminated by water. A method according to some embodiments includes recording sensor data describing refractometry measurements for the vehicle fluid. The method includes determining contamination data that describes an amount of water present in the vehicle fluid. The method includes analyzing the contamination data to determine parameter data describing modifications for a set of parameters for an advanced driver assistance system ('ADAS system') that control the operation of the ADAS system, wherein the parameter data is operable to update the set of parameters and thereby modify the operation of the ADAS system to compensate for the amount of water present in the vehicle fluid so that vehicle component performs as though the vehicle fluid is substantially not contaminated by water.

Optimization of a vehicle to compensate for water contamination of a fluid of a vehicle component

The disclosure includes embodiments for assisting a driver of a vehicle to view traffic mirror content. A method according to some embodiments includes retrieving global positioning system (GPS) data that describes a current location of a vehicle. The method includes generating mirror data based on the GPS data, wherein the mirror data identifies a fixed location of a traffic mirror included in a roadway environment. The method includes instructing, based on the mirror data, an external sensor associated with the vehicle to capture captured image data that describes an image of the traffic mirror. The method includes generating processed image data that describes an optically reversed version of the image. The method includes instructing a display device to display the optically reversed version of the image.

Providing traffic mirror content to a driver

The disclosure includes embodiments for providing a graphical overlay depicting lane lines to a vehicle including an augmented reality ('AR') viewing device. A method according to some embodiments includes determining whether environment data indicate that a driver of a vehicle can identify lane lines on a road in front of the vehicle. The method includes responsive to the environment data failing to indicate that the driver of the vehicle can identify the lane lines, generating line data based on the environment data and global positioning system (GPS) data. The method includes generating AR data based on the line data. The method includes providing the AR data to the AR viewing device. The method includes determining based on head position data associated with the AR viewing device, to instruct the AR viewing device to display a graphical overlay depicting the lane lines.
