Abstract
A vehicle system to assist a driver during a potential passing event of a passing vehicle includes a transceiver and a display. A passing assist module in communication with the transceiver and the display is configured to cause the transceiver to establish a wireless connection with a remote transceiver of a target vehicle and to receive a remote video signal from a camera and the remote transceiver associated with the target vehicle and cause the display of the passing vehicle to output at least one of a video signal and an image based on the remote video signal from the target vehicle.

A vehicle system to assist a driver during a potential passing event of a passing vehicle, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a display;
- and
- a passing assist module in communication with the transceiver and the display and configured to:
- cause the transceiver to establish a wireless connection with a remote transceiver of a target vehicle and to receive a remote video signal from a camera and the remote transceiver associated with the target vehicle;
- and
- cause the display of the passing vehicle to output at least one of a video signal and an image based on the remote video signal from the target vehicle.
A method for assisting a driver during a potential passing event of a passing vehicle, comprising:
- causing a transceiver associated with the passing vehicle to establish a wireless connection with a remote transceiver of a target vehicle;
- receiving a video signal from a camera and the remote transceiver associated with the target vehicle;
- and
- causing a display of the passing vehicle to output at least one of a video signal and an image based on the video signal from the target vehicle.
A vehicle system to assist a driver during a passing event of a passing vehicle, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a global positioning system (GPS) configured to identify a relative lane location and distance between the passing vehicle and a target vehicle;
- a display;
- and
- a passing assist module in communication with the transceiver and configured to:
- identify a potential passing event at least one of in response to driver input and based on the relative lane location and the distance determined by the GPS;
- cause the transceiver to establish a wireless connection with a remote transceiver of the target vehicle and to receive a remote video signal from a camera and the remote transceiver associated with the target vehicle,
- wherein the remote video signal comprises a forward looking view from the target vehicle;
- and
- cause the display of the passing vehicle to output at least one of a video signal and an image based on the remote video signal from the target vehicle.
