SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SUPERIMPOSING AUGMENTED REALITY VEHICLE LIGHTS IN A VEHICLE DISPLAY

Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to superimposing computer-generated exterior vehicle lights over asynchronous real-world exterior vehicle lights to reduce a sensory overload of a vehicle driver. In one embodiment, a method includes assessing a sensory environment of a vehicle driver. The method also includes determining that the vehicle driver is in a sensory-overloaded state based on 1) a characteristic of the sensory environment, 2) physiological sensor data for the vehicle driver, and 3) driving behavior sensor data. The method also includes superimposing an augmented reality (AR) overlay of computer-generated synchronized exterior vehicle lights over asynchronous real-world exterior vehicle lights viewed through an AR display device of the vehicle based on a determination that the vehicle driver is in the sensory-overloaded state.
