The invention concerns a system by which intelligent land vehicle, transportation and highway data can be usefully presented to, and acted on by, a driver of a vehicle, providing a bridge between the vehicles of today, and the automated vehicles of tomorrow. Preferred embodiments utilize displayed sensor based imagery the driver interacts with by touch, gesture or other methods in order to confirm or reject alert signals provided by sensors and to confirm or understand the operation of sensory systems of the vehicle. The driver may designate data displayed for further processing by onboard computers, for example to track certain conditions. An advantageous result is that sensing systems can be set to a higher level of sensitivity and control and a data bank can be built up of sensed data and human responses which can be used over time to improve performance and safety of the vehicle.
