The invention comprises an augmented reality reduced visibility navigation system for detecting objects under reduced visibility conditions using a vehicle radar system and an augmented reality display on a windshield (Fig.3B, 202) or a rearview mirror 210. In one embodiment, a radar-based vehicle control system of a first vehicle detects objects, such as other vehicles, in the vicinity of the first vehicle. The radar-based vehicle control system includes a processor to analyze any detected object, determine the location, distance 216, and speed 214 of any detected object, and output the object information on an augmented reality display. In one embodiment, the augmented reality display displays a vehicle outline 212 together with the location, direction and speed data. In certain embodiments, the augmented reality display is on the front windshield of the first vehicle. In other embodiments, the augmented reality display is on the rearview mirror of the first vehicle.
