1. A system for computer vision based driver assistance, said system comprising:

  • an adjustable camera having an angle of view of 75 degrees or greater and adapted to be adjustably mounted to a vehicle, such that the orientation of said camera in relation to the vehicle is adjustable;

    one or more fixed cameras, having an angle of view of 70 degrees or less and adapted to be mounted to a vehicle, such that the orientation of said camera in relation to the vehicle is fixed;

    first processing circuitry communicatively coupled to said adjustable and fixed cameras and adapted to process images captured by said adjustable and fixed cameras to identify hazardous situations relating to the vehicle;

    one or more driver monitors comprising interior facing image sensors adapted to be positioned within a vehicle and sense a direction of gaze of a driver of the vehicle;

    second processing circuitry communicatively coupled to said first processing circuitry and said driver monitors and adapted to;

    (i) determine a level of risk for each identified hazardous situation, and(ii) issue a warning or intervene in vehicle control, upon determining a level of risk associated with a given hazardous situation is above a dynamic threshold;

    wherein the dynamic threshold is dependent upon a current direction of gaze of the driver sensed by said driver monitor.
