Abstract
Vehicles and related systems and methods are provided for monitoring a vicinity of a vehicle. One method involves identifying, using an onboard sensor system, an object within a field of view of the sensor system, identifying a current geographic location of the vehicle using an onboard positioning system, determining an estimated geographic location of the detected object based at least in part on the current geographic location of the vehicle and the position of the detected object within the field of view of the sensor system, obtaining navigational map data for a region encompassing the current geographic location of the vehicle and the estimated geographic location of the detected object, and automatically providing a user notification. The user notification includes a navigational map of the region including a graphical indication of the detected object overlying the navigational map data at the estimated geographic location on the navigational map.
