1. A system for displaying information for a vehicle, the system comprising:
a plurality of vehicle sensors including at least an exterior camera and a vehicle communication system;
a display; and
a controller in electrical communication with the plurality of vehicle sensors and the display, wherein the controller is programmed to:
detect a relevant traffic signal in an environment surrounding the vehicle using the plurality of vehicle sensors;
determine a V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) status of the relevant traffic signal, wherein the V2I status includes a V2I available status and a V2I unavailable status;
receive information about the relevant traffic signal using the exterior camera in response to determining that the V2I status of the relevant traffic signal is the V2I unavailable status;
receive the information about the relevant traffic signal using the vehicle communication system in response to determining that the V2I status of the relevant traffic signal is the V2I available status;
determine a status of the relevant traffic signal based on the received information; and
display a graphic based on the status of the relevant traffic signal using the display.
