Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to driver assistance systems, such as blind sport detection systems, that integrate driver facing imaging devices. In one form, a system includes an imaging device configured to capture images of a face of a driver; at least one sensor positioned on the vehicle and configured to detect a distance from the vehicle to an object; and at least one processor configured to analyze the images and determine that the driver is in a drowsy state; determine, based on information received from the at least one sensor, that a distance between the vehicle and the object is decreasing or that the distance between the vehicle and the object is less than a threshold; and in response to the determinations, provide an alert to the driver of a potential side collision.
