An apparatus includes an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive data readings generated by a plurality of sensors. The processor may be configured to perform a fusion operation on the data readings to detect an event, determine a location of the event with respect to a vehicle based on the data readings, convert the location to spatial audio data and generate an audio warning signal based on the spatial audio data. The sensors may generate video data as one of the data readings. The processor may perform video analysis on the video data to calculate measurements using a number of pixels to the event to calculate the location. The spatial audio data may be in a format compatible with a surround sound speaker system of the vehicle. The audio warning signal may indicate the location of the event using the surround sound speaker system.
