1. A vehicle comprising:
a camera disposed at a vehicle front portion, wherein the camera is configured to capture images of a geographical area that is occluded from a driver field of view caused by a presence of a vehicle structural component when the vehicle traverses a road curve, and wherein the camera is further configured to continuously focus on an end of the road curve as the vehicle traverses the road curve;
a display; and
a processor communicatively coupled with the camera, wherein the processor is configured to:
obtain a trigger signal;
activate the camera responsive to obtaining the trigger signal;
obtain the images from the camera responsive to activating the camera;
determine a road obstruction presence in the geographical area based on applying an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based image processing algorithm to analyze the images;
generate an Augmented Reality (AR) image by overlaying a visual alert notification on the images captured by the camera, responsive to determining the road obstruction presence; and
display the AR image upon the display,
wherein the vehicle structural component is a vehicle vertical body-mounted pillar, and
wherein the vehicle is a left-hand drive vehicle, and further comprising:
a steering wheel; and
a steering wheel sensor configured to:
detect steering wheel rotation;
generate the trigger signal when the steering wheel is rotated in an anticlockwise direction that causes the vertical body-mounted pillar to obstruct the driver field of view; and
transmit the trigger signal to the processor.
