A vehicle backup alert system using messaging system that announce the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle therebehind. A main control unit (MCU) powered by the vehicle battery, controls a speaker positioned in the vehicle cabin and at least one ultrasonic transducer mounted on the exterior of the vehicle and positioned to generate sound waves that scan a wide field of view behind the vehicle. The MCU is activated when the vehicle is in reverse. Once activated, the MCU causes a sensor to generate a sensor signal which is incident on an obstacle (if present) behind the vehicle. The signal reflected from the obstacle is processed and fed back to the MCU. The MCU software then determines if the echo signal has detected an object. If yes, the voice module is activated and the speaker announces the distance to the object in a variable tone and the cycle is repeated. If the echo signal has not detected an object and the object has not moved into a blind area, the signal is again transmitted by the MCU. If the object has moved into a blind are, a signal is sent to the voice module which announces that the object is in the blind area and repeats that message until an object is detected behind the vehicle.
