A warning system for a motor vehicle includes a head up display. The warning system detects a remote vehicle that presents a potential hazard to a host vehicle, determines if the remote vehicle is visible to the driver and displays an image onto a combiner of the heads up display corresponding to a current location of the remote vehicle or a future location where the remote vehicle will appear on the combiner. In some cases, the combiner is a windshield or window of the motor vehicle.

The motor vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the image displayed by the heads up display is a warning image. 5. The motor vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the combiner is a window of the motor vehicle. 6. The motor vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the combiner is a windshield of the motor vehicle. 7. The motor vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the remote sensing device is at least one of: optical devices, radar devices, sonar devices, laser devices, and RFID sensing devices. 8. A method of warning a driver in a motor vehicle, comprising: receiving information from a driver monitoring device;receiving information related to a remote vehicle that presents a potential hazard to the driver, wherein the information is received from the remote vehicle via a vehicle communication network;receiving information related to objects in a driving environment;determining if the remote vehicle is visible to the driver by comparing the information related to the remote vehicle with the information related to objects in the driving environment;determining a viewing location on a combiner in the motor vehicle, wherein the viewing location is in a line of sight of the driver between the driver and the remote vehicle by an electronic control unit; andforming an image onto the viewing location of the combiner in the motor vehicle when the remote vehicle is not visible to the driver. 9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the information related to the remote vehicle includes identification information associated with a make and model of the remote vehicle and the step of forming an image onto the viewing location of the combiner includes forming an image that indicates a type of vehicle associated with the remote vehicle based on the identification information. 10. The method according to claim 8, wherein the information related to the motor vehicle is position information. 11. The method according to claim 8, wherein the driver monitoring device is configured to determine the viewing direction of the driver. 12. The method according to claim 8, wherein determining the viewing location on the combiner includes selecting a viewing location of the combiner where the driver sees an object obstructing the view of the remote vehicle as viewed from the line of sight of the driver. 13. The method according to claim 9, wherein determining if the remote vehicle is visible to the driver includes using the information from the driver monitoring device. 14. The method according to claim 8, wherein determining the viewing location further includes: determining that the remote vehicle is not currently visible to the driver;determining an estimated location on the combiner where the remote vehicle may become visible to the driver at a later time as viewed from the line of sight of the driver; andsetting the estimated location to be the viewing location. 15. A method of warning a driver in a motor vehicle, comprising: receiving information from a driver monitoring device related to the driver's point of view;receiving information related to a remote vehicle that presents a potential hazard to the driver, wherein the information related to the remote vehicle is received from the remote vehicle via a dedicated short range communication network;receiving information related to objects in a driving environment;determining if the remote vehicle is visible to the driver by comparing the information related to the remote vehicle with the information related to objects in the driving environment;determining a viewing location on a combiner in the motor vehicle that corresponds to a location on the combiner where the remote vehicle will appear at a later time as viewed from the driver's point of view by determining a trajectory of the remote vehicle based on the information received from the remote vehicle by an electronic control unit; andforming an image onto the viewing location of the combiner in the motor vehicle. 16. The method according to claim 15, wherein the driver monitoring device is an optical device. 17. The method according to claim 15, wherein determining the viewing location includes determining a trajectory for the remote vehicle and determining the location on the combiner where the trajectory of the remote vehicle will cause the remote vehicle to become visible to the driver as viewed from the driver's point of view, using the information received from the driver monitoring device. 18. The method according to claim 15, wherein the image is a warning image that is superimposed over an object in the view of the driver. 19. The method according to claim 15, wherein the image is projected onto the combiner. 20. The method according to claim 15, wherein the information related to the remote vehicle includes at least one of position information, speed information, and heading information. 21. A method of warning a driver in a motor vehicle, comprising: receiving information from a driver monitoring device;receiving positional information associated with a remote vehicle, wherein the positional information is received from the remote vehicle via a vehicle communication network;receiving identification information associated with a make and model of the remote vehicle, wherein the identification information is received from the remote vehicle via a vehicle communication network;receiving information related to objects in a driving environment;determining if the remote vehicle is visible to the driver by comparing the positional information associated with the remote vehicle with the information related to objects in the driving environment;determining a viewing location on a combiner in the motor vehicle corresponding to the location on the combiner from the driver's point of view of the remote vehicle when the remote vehicle is visible to the driver based on the positional information received from the remote vehicle by an electronic control unit; andforming an image onto the viewing location of the combiner in the motor vehicle so that the image is superimposed over the remote vehicle from the driver's point of view, wherein the image indicates a type of vehicle associated with the remote vehicle based on the identification information received from the remote vehicle. 22.
