DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

A driver assistance system suitable for use in a vehicle includes an image capture device having a field of view rearward of the vehicle. The image capture device comprises a CMOS image capture device and is operable to capture image data. A display system displays video images output by the image capture device. The display system includes a video display screen. A graphic overlay is superimposed on the displayed images, and, at least when the wheels of the vehicle are straight, the graphic overlay includes a pair of converging lines extending outward relative to the rear of the vehicle. At least one horizontal line at least partially extends between the pair of converging lines in order to enhance the ability of a driver of the vehicle to judge relative distance to an object located rearward of the vehicle.
