Abstract
A collision warning system for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The collision warning system includes a first mode and a second mode. The system operates in the first mode when there is line of sight with a target vehicle. The system operates in the second mode where there is no line of sight with the target vehicle. The line of sight conditions are determined according to power delay spread characteristics or frequency response characteristics of signals from a vehicle communications network.
