Abstract: A driver assistance system for a vehicle includes a rear-view camera constructed and arranged to obtain an image of an area behind a rear of the vehicle. A non-camera sensor system is constructed and arranged to obtain data regarding dynamic or static environmental features at opposing sides of the vehicle. An electronic control unit is electrically connected with the rear-view camera and with the sensor system. The electronic control unit is constructed and arranged to create an image from the data received from the sensor system. A display system is controlled by the electronic control unit and is constructed and arranged to display simultaneously to a driver of the vehicle at a single location, the image obtained by the rear-view camera and the image created by the electronic control system.
