Abstract

A host vehicle warning system includes one or more processors, one or more host vehicle status sensors, one or more approaching vehicle sensors, one or more user interface devices, and one or more memory modules. The one or more host vehicle status sensors output a status signal that a host vehicle is stopped in traffic. The one or more approaching vehicle sensors output a driving condition signal indicative of a driving condition of an approaching vehicle. The one or more user interface devices output a warning to a user of the host vehicle. The one or more memory modules store logic that cause the one or more processors to determine that the host vehicle is stopped in traffic, detect the driving condition of the approaching vehicle, determine whether the driving condition of the approaching vehicle is reckless, and output the warning in response to determining the approaching vehicle is reckless.
