An obstacle detection system for a vehicle comprises: a plurality of proximity sensors (110; figure 1) arranged at a plurality of positions around the vehicle; a rear view mirror assembly 200 comprising a mirror 204 with a plurality of lightable display elements 210 arranged at positions that correspond to the positions of the proximity sensors around the vehicle; and a controller that receives signals from the sensors and illuminates the corresponding light. The lights 210 may be positioned around the periphery of the mirror, as part of the mirror 204 or the housing 202, and may be transparent when not illuminated. The mirror may be an exterior mirror (e.g. a side mirror 150; fig. 1). The system may include multiple mirrors (140, 150; figure 1) and also an interior display screen 120 on the vehicle trim. There may also be a sensor (e.g. a camera 510; fig. 5) to determine whether the driver is looking at the rear view mirror. Also claimed is a vehicle including the system.
