Abstract

A blind spot safety system for a subject vehicle. The safety system includes a blind spot monitoring module that detects when a secondary vehicle is operating in a blind spot of the subject vehicle. A vehicle control module controls speed of the subject vehicle. When the blind spot monitoring module detects that the secondary vehicle is operating in the blind spot of the subject vehicle, the blind spot monitoring module instructs the vehicle control module to increase or decrease speed of the subject vehicle to move the subject vehicle relative to the secondary vehicle such that the secondary vehicle is not in the blind spot of the subject vehicle.
