Vehicle-to-vehicle communication system providing a spatiotemporal look ahead and method thereof
First Claim
1. A method for representing an area in front of a vehicle on a trailing vehicle comprising:
- connecting with the vehicle through vehicle-to-vehicle communications;
displaying an augmented reality indicator representing the area in front of the vehicle, wherein the augmented reality indicator is presented above the vehicle on the trailing vehicle and simulates a three-dimensional perspective of a road ahead of the preceding vehicle; and
displaying spatiotemporal information within the augmented reality indicator of a leading vehicle identified by the vehicle and communicated to the trailing vehicle through the vehicle-to-vehicle communications.

Abstract
A vehicle-to-vehicle communication system providing a spatiotemporal look ahead and method thereof is provided. A trailing vehicle having a look ahead capability can communicate with a preceding vehicle. The preceding vehicle can measure a distance to a leading vehicle and provide that information through vehicle-to-vehicle communications to the trailing vehicle. The trailing vehicle can then display an augmented reality indicator above the vehicle through its head-up display indicating how far the leading vehicle is in front of the preceding vehicle. An icon representing the leading vehicle can be displayed within the augmented reality indicator representing the leading vehicle. Braking actions by the leading vehicle can be communicated to the trailing vehicle through the augmented reality indicator.
