Remote vehicle spatial awareness notification system

A method for providing driver notification in a vehicle, the method comprising:

• measuring, by one or more sensors, attributes of a remote object in a predetermined vicinity of the vehicle, the one or more attributes of the remote object comprising a time of interception between the vehicle and the remote object, the time of interception being based on a speed of the remote object and a distance between the vehicle and the remote object;
• determining, by a controller, a recklessness score for the remote object based on the attributes of the remote object;
• in response to the recklessness score exceeding a predetermined threshold, generating, by the controller, the driver notification that comprises a directional information that provides a spatial awareness of a location of the remote object in relation to the vehicle;
• and
• providing, by an output device, the notification to a driver.

A computer program product comprising computer storage device having computer executable instructions stored therein, the computer executable instructions when executed by a processing unit cause the processing unit to provide a driver notification in a vehicle, providing the driver notification comprises:

• measuring, using one or more sensors, attributes of a remote object in a predetermined vicinity of the vehicle, the one or more attributes of the remote object comprising a time of interception between the vehicle and the remote object, the time of interception being based on a speed of the remote object and a distance between the vehicle and the remote object;
• determining a recklessness score for the remote object based on the attributes of the remote object;
• in response to the recklessness score exceeding a predetermined threshold, generating the driver notification that comprises a directional information that provides a spatial awareness of a location of the remote object in relation to the vehicle;
• and
• generating, using an output device, the notification for a driver.
