1. A warning suppression method comprising: by a host-vehicle controller:
receiving position data from a remote vehicle; creating a safe-zone based on the position data, indicative of a location the remote vehicle has driven through; detecting a stationary object; and suppressing an audio or visual alert in a host vehicle when the stationary object is in the safe-zone by comparing a position of the stationary object to the safe-zone preventing false alerts and reducing driver distraction.
