Abstract
A system and method of predicting a target vehicle entry into a side blind zone of an ADAS equipped vehicle and displaying a real-time alert to inform an operator or occupant of the ADAS equipped vehicle of the predicted target vehicle entry into the side blind zone. The system includes exterior sensors, interior sensors, an augmented reality rearview mirror, and a module. The module is configured to detect an object behind the ADAS equipped vehicle, predict a path of the object, determine a probability that the predicted path of the object will enter a side blind zone of the vehicle, and determine an entry of the object into the side blind zone of the vehicle when the probability exceeds a predetermined threshold.
