Abstract
A method for low visibility driving includes receiving image data from a visible-light camera. The image data includes an image of an area in front of a vehicle. The method includes receiving sensor data from an object-detecting sensor. The object-detecting sensor is configured to detect an object in front of the vehicle. The sensor data includes information about the object in front of the vehicle. The method further includes detecting the object in front of the vehicle using the sensor data received from the object-detecting sensor and determining whether the visible-light camera is unable to detect the object in front of the vehicle that was detected by the object-detecting sensor. The method further includes commanding a display to generate a virtual image using the sensor data to identify the object in front of the vehicle.
