Abstract
A motor vehicle includes a driver sensor detecting a position of a human driver of the motor vehicle. A rear view camera captures images of an environment behind the motor vehicle. A display screen is disposed within a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to each of the driver sensor, the rear view camera, and the display screen. The electronic processor receives images captured by the rear view camera, receives outputs of the driver sensor, determines a position of the driver'"'"'s head or eyes dependent upon the outputs of the driver sensor, and transmits video signals to the display screen. The video signals are dependent upon the determined position of the driver'"'"'s head or eyes and dependent upon images captured by the rear view camera.
