Car accidents occur every 60 seconds. To that end, every driver needs any help they can get, to point out obstacles and dangerous conditions. Precarious circumstances on the road place drivers and autonomous vehicles in dangerous situations. Difficult contexts include complex driving scenes, speeding, and distracted driving.
