Abstract

A driver assistance system for monitoring driving safety has a mobile electronic unit including a video sensor, a computer unit for image data processing, and an acoustic output unit, which detects the immediate surroundings of the vehicle from the data of the video sensor and outputs a warning or information via an output unit when the computer unit detects a dangerous situation. The mobile electronic unit detects noises within the vehicle or from the outside via an acoustic input unit, and incorporates the information in the assessment of driving safety.
