SYSTEM FOR ALERTING A VEHICLE OCCUPANT TO A GROUND SURFACE CONDITION ADJACENT A VEHICLE DOOR

A computing system for a vehicle includes one or more processors for controlling operation of the computing system, and a memory for storing data and program instructions usable by the one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to process sensor information to determine a condition of a portion of a ground surface adjacent at least one door opening of the vehicle, and to control an operation of the vehicle responsive to the condition of the portion of the ground surface adjacent the at least one door opening of the vehicle.
