Abstract

The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods associated with generating images. An example method executed by a processor may include receiving, from a first vehicle, a first image based on a first field of view of objects located in a cabin area of the first vehicle and a second image based on a second field of view of objects located outside the first vehicle. The method may further include receiving, from a second vehicle, a third image based on a third field of view of objects located outside the second vehicle. A composite image may be generated based on the first image, the second image, and the third image. In one case, the composite image may be generated by superimposing at least a portion of the first image upon at least a portion of the second image and/or upon at least a portion of the third image.
