Abstract:
In an aspect, false alerts in a collision avoidance system of an automotive vehicle are prevented when the vehicle is in reverse. The collision avoidance system includes at least an upper rear facing obstruction sensor and a lower rear facing obstruction sensor. When the vehicle is approaching a positive road grade change, the sensitivity of the lower rear facing obstruction sensor is reduced. In an aspect, an active rear view area of a rear facing vision system of the vehicle is adjusted when the vehicle is approaching a change in road grade.
