Abstract:
Vehicle systems and methods for redirecting the direction of gaze of a driver towards an object are disclosed. In one embodiment, a vehicle includes an object detection system configured to output an object signal in response to detecting an object, a driver gaze monitoring system configured to output a direction signal, a heads-up display configured to generate a visual indicator, one or more processors and one or more non-transitory memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform at least at the following: determine an object and a respective location of the object based at least in part on the object signal from the object detection system, and determine a direction of gaze of a driver based at least in part on the direction signal from the driver gaze monitoring system.

Claim (Index 12):
A vehicle, comprising:\n an object detection system configured to output an object signal in response to detecting an object; a driver gaze monitoring system configured to output a direction signal; a heads-up display configured to generate a visual indicator; a location determination system configured to output a location signal; a vehicle operating condition sensor system configured to output an operational signal; one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform at least at the following:\n determine a respective location of the object based at least in part on the object signal from the object detection system; \n calculate a predicted trajectory of the object based on at least the respective location of the object; \n determine whether the object is likely to deviate from the predicted trajectory of the object; \n determine a position of the vehicle based on the location signal; \n determine one or more operating conditions of the vehicle based on the operational signal; \n calculate a driving trajectory of the vehicle based on at least the position of the vehicle and the one or more operating conditions; \n determine the object is in an obstacle position based on the predicted trajectory of the object, whether the object is likely to deviate from the predicted trajectory of the object, and the driving trajectory of the vehicle; \n in response to determining the object is in the obstacle position, determine a direction of gaze of a driver based at least in part on the direction signal from the driver gaze monitoring system; \n compare the respective location of the object with the direction of gaze of the driver; and \n in response to determining the direction of gaze of the driver is directed towards a location other than the respective location of the object, generate the visual indicator by the heads-up display.
