A trailer hitch guidance system for a vehicle, the system comprising: a display; a user interface; a camera; a velocity sensor configured to measure a speed of the vehicle; an electronic controller communicatively coupled to the display, the user interface, and the velocity sensor, and configured to receive, via the user interface, a first user input; in response to the first user input, present on the display a captured video image from the camera, the captured video image including a coupler; determine within the captured video image an area into which the vehicle can be guided; present on the display an indication of the area overlaying the captured video image; in response to receiving a second user input indicating a location relative to the coupler, when the electronic controller determines that the vehicle is not in a reverse gear, present, on the display, a visual command to put the vehicle in the reverse gear; when the vehicle is in the reverse gear, activate an automatic steering of the vehicle steering the vehicle to the coupler based on the location; during the automatic steering the vehicle, receive, from the velocity sensor, the speed of the vehicle; and when the speed exceeds a first predetermined speed threshold, present on the display a second visual command to slow the vehicle. a display; a user interface; a camera; a velocity sensor configured to measure a speed of the vehicle; an electronic controller communicatively coupled to the display, the user interface, and the velocity sensor, and configured to receive, via the user interface, a first user input; in response to the first user input, present on the display a captured video image from the camera, the captured video image including a coupler; determine within the captured video image an area into which the vehicle can be guided; present on the display an indication of the area overlaying the captured video image; in response to receiving a second user input indicating a location relative to the coupler, when the electronic controller determines that the vehicle is not in a reverse gear, present, on the display, a visual command to put the vehicle in the reverse gear; when the vehicle is in the reverse gear, activate an automatic steering of the vehicle steering the vehicle to the coupler based on the location; during the automatic steering the vehicle, receive, from the velocity sensor, the speed of the vehicle; and when the speed exceeds a first predetermined speed threshold, present on the display a second visual command to slow the vehicle. receive, via the user interface, a first user input; in response to the first user input, present on the display a captured video image from the camera, the captured video image including a coupler; determine within the captured video image an area into which the vehicle can be guided; present on the display an indication of the area overlaying the captured video image; in response to receiving a second user input indicating a location relative to the coupler, when the electronic controller determines that the vehicle is not in a reverse gear, present, on the display, a visual command to put the vehicle in the reverse gear; when the vehicle is in the reverse gear, activate an automatic steering of the vehicle steering the vehicle to the coupler based on the location; during the automatic steering the vehicle, receive, from the velocity sensor, the speed of the vehicle; and when the speed exceeds a first predetermined speed threshold, present on the display a second visual command to slow the vehicle.
