The present disclosure relates to systems, devices and methods for steering wheel haptic notification. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a detected hand position relative to a steering wheel of a vehicle and detecting at least one object relative to the vehicle. Based on the hand position, actuation of at least one haptic notification element of the steering wheel may be controlled to indicate position of the object. In certain embodiments, hand position may be detected by capacitive sensing of the steering wheel. In other embodiments, the vehicle may include an imaging device facing the steering wheel to determine hand position. Object location may be mapped to the steering wheel based on hand position. The actuators of the steering wheel may increase the steering wheel thickness or raise at least a portion of the actuator area to indicate the direction of a detected object.
