The techniques and systems described herein enable a processing unit, a device, or system of a vehicle to notify a driver of hazards. The driver is notified by monitoring a spatial environment surrounding the vehicle and monitoring a driver's attention within the vehicle. At least a first direction from which at least one hazard, on relative approach to said motor vehicle, and is to be noticed by the driver is detected. At least a second direction to which the driver is paying attention is also detected. An alert is generated when the second direction is determined to be different from the first direction. In this way, vehicle safety is improved without annoying passengers or diminishing their wellbeing.
