A driving separation indication system for a vehicle includes an imaging
sensor, a control and at least one indicator. The control is operable to
process an image captured by the imaging sensor representative of a scene
occurring exteriorly of the subject vehicle and to detect another vehicle
via processing of the image. The control is operable to determine a
threshold interspacing distance in response to a speed of the subject
vehicle, and is operable to determine a distance from the subject vehicle
to the detected other vehicle. The control is operable to at least
occasionally actuate the indicator in response to the distance from the
subject vehicle to the other vehicle being less than or equal to the
threshold interspacing distance. The control may generally continuously
determine the speed of the vehicle and the threshold interspacing
distance to provide an appropriate threshold interspacing distance.
