Abstract: The system comprises a sensing system and a speed detection system to monitor and gather information associated with a driver, a vehicle being operated by the driver, a monitored area proximate to the vehicle. The system further comprises a display module located within the interior of the vehicle and a controller in communication with the speed detection system, the sensing system and the display module. Upon receiving the gathered information from the sensing system, the controller utilizes the gathered information to detect the presence and the proximity of an object in the monitored zone of the vehicle and the speed of the vehicle. Upon detecting said object in the monitored zone of the vehicle, the controller determines the appropriateness of providing a warning to a driver of the vehicle regarding said object. The appropriateness of providing the warning is determined as a function of the proximity of said object to the vehicle and a speed of the vehicle.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for performing a combination of detecting events and recording data associated with the events (“the technology”). The technology monitors for various predefined events, where the events can include any unsafe vehicle operation, any unusual objects on the road, a scenic view, a traffic incident, etc. The technology gathers and stores data associated with the predefined events when any one or more of such events are detected during the monitoring. The technology uses cameras and other sensors to gather data associated with a detected event.

Abstract: Disclosed here are methods, systems, paradigms and structures for providing driving and vehicle related assistance to a driver of a vehicle. The method includes receiving information related the operation of the vehicle by the driver, where the received information is gathered by monitoring the driver, the vehicle and the proximity of the vehicle during a period of operation of the vehicle by the driver. The method includes analyzing the received information to determine condition of the vehicle and a driving performance of the driver during the operation of the vehicle. The method further includes determining a driving and vehicle related assistance to provide to the driver based on the determined driving performance of the driver and the condition of the vehicle respectively. The method further includes providing the determined driving and vehicle related assistance to the driver of the vehicle.
