The present invention is generally directed to methods and systems of estimating visibility around a vehicle and automatically configuring one or more systems in response to the visibility level. The visibility level can be estimated by comparing two images of the vehicle's surroundings, each taken from a different perspective. Distance of objects in the images can be estimated based on the disparity between the two images, and the visibility level (e.g., a distance) can be estimated based on the farthest object that is visible in the images.
