Abstract
An identification apparatus for an equipped vehicle includes a camera configured to capture image data in a field of view directed to an exterior region proximate to the equipped vehicle and a controller in communication with the camera. The controller identifies an object in the image data and identifies a proportion of the object in response to pixels representing the object in the image data. The controller then communicates a notification indicating a trailing vehicle in response to the object approaching the camera in excess of a threshold.
