Abstract

The present disclosure, in one aspect, provides a method for monitoring a vehicle environment. The method may include determining environmental data of a vehicle with an environmental sensor system, transmitting the environmental data to a mobile unit, determining a local position of the mobile unit with respect to the vehicle, and selecting a subset of the environmental data based on the local position of the mobile unit and depicting the subset of the environmental data on the mobile unit.
