1. A method for setting stopping distance, the method comprising:
- displaying, on a display, an image from a camera facing an area around a vehicle;
detecting a user input to select an object in the displayed image;
determining a stopping distance from the selected object, the stopping distance corresponding to a pre-stored value or an input received from an operator of the vehicle;
comparing a distance to the selected object and the stopping distance, the distance to the selected object being determined from information provided by an object detection sensor; and
based on the comparing, performing an operation if the vehicle is within a threshold distance of the stopping distance.

11. An apparatus for setting stopping distance, the apparatus comprising:
-
at least one memory comprising computer executable instructions; and at least one processor configured to read and execute the computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions causing the at least one processor to; display, on a display, an image from a camera facing an area around a vehicle; detect a user input to select an object in the displayed image; determine a stopping distance from the selected object, the stopping distance corresponding to a pre-stored value or an input received from an operator of the vehicle; compare a distance to the selected object and the stopping distance, the distance to the selected object being determined from information provided by an object detection sensor; and based on the comparing, perform an operation if the vehicle is within a threshold distance of the stopping distance. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An apparatus for setting stopping distance, the apparatus comprising:
-
at least one memory comprising computer executable instructions; and at least one processor configured to read and execute the computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions causing the at least one processor to; receive an image from a camera facing an area around a vehicle; display, on a display, the image representing the area around a vehicle; detect a user input to select an object in the displayed image representing the area around a vehicle; set a stopping distance between the selected object and the vehicle based on an input received via a touchscreen from an operator of the vehicle; compare a distance to the selected object and the stopping distance, the distance to the selected object being determined from information provided by an object detection sensor; and send the set stopping distance to the vehicle to perform an operation if the vehicle is within a threshold distance of the stopping distance.
