A vehicle system includes at least one sensor that can detect a first target vehicle in a first blind spot and a second target vehicle in a second blind spot. The first blind spot is associated with an adjacent lane relative to a host vehicle and the second blind spot is associated with an extended lane relative to the host vehicle. A processor can generate a first alert signal when the first target vehicle is detected and a second alert signal when the second target vehicle is detected. Un sistema de vehículo incluye al menos un sensor que pueda detectar un primer vehículo objetivo en un primer punto ciego y un segundo vehículo objetivo en un segundo punto ciego. El primer punto ciego se asocia con un carril adyacente relativo a un vehículo portador y el segundo punto ciego está asociado con un carril extendido relativo al vehículo portador. Un procesador puede generar una primera señal de alerta cuando el primer vehículo objetivo es detectado y una segunda señal de alerta cuando el segundo vehículo objetivo es detectado.
