Abstract
Systems and methods for proactively monitoring when a driver's own motor vehicle may enter into the blind spot of another vehicle include a blind spot modeling system that identifies and builds models of nearby vehicles. The models, which include details about the vehicle mirrors, including their locations and orientations, are used to determine visible regions or zones and regions are zones that are not visible to the driver from the mirrors (blind spots). The blind spot modeling system may take action when the driver's own vehicle is in another vehicle's blind spot, including sending the driver alerts and/or modifying the operation of one or more vehicle systems to automatically move the driver's vehicle out of the blind spot of the other vehicle.
