Abstract
A system, apparatus and method for enhancing a driver's field of view in a vehicle. Sensor data may be generated, via one or more first sensors, relating a pitch angle of the vehicle and received in a processing apparatus, which further determines if the pitch angle of the vehicle exceeds a configured pitch angle threshold for a configured period of time. One or more control signals may be transmitted to activate one or more cameras configured to capture image data at least in a front area of the vehicle if the processing apparatus determines that the pitch angle exceeds the configured pitch angle for the configured period of time. The captured image data may then be displayed on a display unit.
