Abstract
A vehicle external environment detection system includes a first vehicle and a second vehicle. The first vehicle includes an image sensor, a first processing circuit, and a first communication circuit. The first processing circuit identifies a moving method of a person around the first vehicle based on a result of the imaging performed by the image sensor, estimates a person's moving speed based on the moving method, and calculates an arrival time at which the person arrives at an intersection based on the person's moving speed. The first communication circuit transmits notification data including data regarding the arrival time. The second communication circuit receives the notification data. The second processing circuit calculates an interference possibility between the second vehicle and the person based on the data regarding the arrival time included in the notification data and warns an occupant on the second vehicle when the interference possibility is high.
