TECHNICAL FIELD

The application relates generally to processing and use of video generated by a vehicle.

BACKGROUND

Some people have difficulty seeing out of a vehicle, because their view is obstructed by their positioning within the vehicle or because of vision. Some people wish to update friends or loved ones about their progress on a trip, e.g., when they are traveling in a vehicle to meet someone. Conventional facilities for sharing current location include providing coordinates on a map. But, map data may not tell the whole story.

SUMMARY

One aspect of the disclosure is a method that includes obtaining a video based on images detected with cameras mounted on a vehicle, storing the video in a memory, selecting a portion of the video based on input representing selection of a time offset and a viewing angle, and displaying the selected portion of the video corresponding to the time offset from the perspective of the viewing angle.

Another aspect of the disclosure is a non-transitory computer readable storage device having computer executable program instructions that are executable by one or more processors of a vehicle. The computer executable program instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to obtain a video based on images detected with cameras mounted on a vehicle, store the video in a memory, select a portion of the video based on a user selection of a time offset and a viewing angle, and display the portion of the video corresponding to the time offset from the perspective of the viewing angle.

Another aspect of the disclosure is a vehicle that includes a plurality of cameras, a network interface, a memory, and one or more computer processors. The one or more computer processors are configured to obtain a video based on images detected with the plurality of cameras, store the video in the memory, process a portion of the video based on input representing selection of a time offset and a viewing angle, and send, using the network interface to an electronic device, the processed portion of the video corresponding to the time offset from the perspective of the viewing angle.
