DRIVING AID SYSTEM

Abstract:

Systems for aiding a vehicle driver are disclosed. A system may comprise an imager having a field of view forward relative a vehicle and operable to capture a first image. The system may further comprise a controller communicatively connected to the imager. The controller may be operable to detect a road sign in the first image, to interpret the road sign, and to provide an graphic representation of the road sign and/or provide an auditory response based, at least in part on the road sign. The graphic representation may be displayed by a rear-view assembly. The auditory response may be emitted by a speaker. In some embodiments, a location may be associated with one or more road sign interpretation and both the location and interpretation may be transmitted to a remote server.
