Abstract
Systems and methods for enhancing visibility while driving a vehicle are provided. When driving under adverse weather conditions, the driver's visibility of the road may be reduced. The driver may use an augmented reality device to aid in the view of the roadway. The augmented reality device works in conjunction with the vehicle to determine the type of environmental/weather condition that is causing the reduced visibility. Based on that, the vehicle and/or the augmented reality device may determine additional information using one or more of its sensors to augment the image displayed by the augmented reality device. The augmented image includes more details of the road and the environment surrounding the vehicle, thus providing the driver with enhanced visibility of the road and the surrounding environment.
