Embodiment Construction

[0013] The ensuing description is merely exemplary in nature, and is not intended to limit its disclosure, application, or use. For purposes of clarity, the same reference numbers will be used in the drawings to identify similar parts. Figure 1-3 A first embodiment of a display system 12 and vehicle 10 with emergency vehicle detection is illustrated. Throughout this application, relative directions such as front and rear are referenced to directions that a driver of the vehicle 10 is primarily facing when driving the vehicle 10 . The display system 12 includes a display screen 14 mounted to an accessible location of the vehicle 10 for viewing by the driver.

[0014] The display screen 14 is connected to at least one camera 16 mounted to the rear of the vehicle 10 . The camera 16 can also be a wide-angle camera, so that a larger area can be observed. Camera 16 and display screen 14 are connected to ECU 18 which controls display screen 14 and camera 16 . Camera 16 includes ...

Abstract

A display system for a vehicle comprises a display mounted within a passenger compartment of a vehicle and at least one camera mounted to the vehicle and facing at least partially in a rear direction. The display shows the images recorded by the camera(s) to provide a rear view for the driver of the vehicle. An ECU is controllably connected to the display screen and the at least one camera to analyze an image from the at least one camera to detect when an object in the image is an emergency vehicle; and to activate an alert on the display when an emergency vehicle is detected.
