Abstract
A driver assistance system and driver assistance method for a combination of a motor vehicle and a trailer, which includes a first camera located on the motor vehicle configured to generate a first image, and a second camera located on the trailer configured to generate a second image, and a computer processing device configured to determine a first distance and a second distance by a sensor or a user input, determine a bowl view responsive to the first distance and the second distance in relation to a threshold distance, and generate a combined image from the second image and the first image responsive to the bowl view.

A driver assistance system for a combination of a motor vehicle and a trailer, the driver assistance system comprising:
- a first camera located on the motor vehicle, the first camera configured to generate a first image;
- a second camera located on the trailer, the second camera configured to generate a second image;
- and
- a computer processing device configured to:
- determine a first distance and a second distance by a sensor or a user input;
- determine a bowl view responsive to the first distance and the second distance in relation to a threshold distance;
- and
- generate a combined image from the second image and the first image responsive to the bowl view.
A method for driver assistance for a combination of a motor vehicle and a trailer, the method comprising:
- generating, by a first camera located on the motor vehicle, a first image;
- generating, by a second camera located on the trailer, a second image;
- determining, by a sensor or a user, a first distance and a second distance;
- determining, by a computer processing device, a bowl view responsive to the first distance and the second distance in relation to a threshold distance;
