Abstract: Methods and systems for providing Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) warnings and/or other types of information to an occupant of a motor vehicle are provided. Warning lights can be provided around the perimeter of a shape that represents the perimeter of the vehicle from a top-view perspective. Lights around the shape can be lit to convey a sense of the area of danger and/or the direction from which danger is approaching.

Abstract: Methods and systems for deterring rear collisions and/or mitigating the damage caused therefrom are provided. When the host vehicle is slowing down, coming to a stop, or stopped, and the system senses that an external vehicle in the rear is approaching at an unsafe speed, an external warning system can be activated to attempt to gain the attention of the driver of the external vehicle. If the external vehicle continues to approach at an unsafe speed such that a collision seems likely or inevitable, a brace sequence within the host vehicle can be activated to reduce injury to occupants of the host vehicle.
