Abstract: A blind spot detection system for a primary vehicle. The system includes rear primary vehicle sensors configured to be mounted at a rear of the primary vehicle to detect a secondary vehicle present in a blind spot of the primary vehicle. Side view mirror primary vehicle sensors are configured to be mounted to side view mirrors of the primary vehicle to detect a secondary vehicle present in the blind spot of the primary vehicle. A control module is configured to: detect a trailer connected to the primary vehicle; activate the rear primary vehicle sensors and not activate the side view mirror primary vehicle sensors when the trailer is not connected to the primary vehicle; and not activate the rear primary vehicle sensors and activate the side view mirror primary vehicle sensors when the trailer is connected to the primary vehicle.

Abstract: A backup assistance system for a vehicle. The system includes a backup control module configured to restrict at least one of vehicle backup speed, acceleration, and jerk when a field of view of one or more backup sensors is restricted.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided and include a receiver module that is configured to receive at least one radar signal. A control module includes a processor that is configured to execute instruction stored in a nontransitory memory. The control module is configured to generate a Fourier transformation based on the at least one radar signal, and the control module is configured to determine a presence of wave interference based on the Fourier transformation. A primary indicator module is configured to, in response to the control module determining the presence of wave interference, generate an indication. The indication corresponds to the presence of wave interference.

Abstract: A blind spot safety system for a subject vehicle. The safety system includes a blind spot monitoring module that detects when a secondary vehicle is operating in a blind spot of the subject vehicle. A vehicle control module controls speed of the subject vehicle. When the blind spot monitoring module detects that the secondary vehicle is operating in the blind spot of the subject vehicle, the blind spot monitoring module instructs the vehicle control module to increase or decrease speed of the subject vehicle to move the subject vehicle relative to the secondary vehicle such that the secondary vehicle is not in the blind spot of the subject vehicle.
