Abstract
A computer includes a processor that is programmed to identify, in a first vehicle, a second vehicle based on first vehicle sensor data. The processor is programmed to determine, based on at least one of the sensor data and additional environmental data, a risk of ice from the second vehicle striking the first vehicle. The processor is further programmed to cause an action in the first vehicle based on the determined risk.
Claims20
A computer, comprising a processor programmed to:
- identify, in a first vehicle, a second vehicle based on first vehicle sensor data;
- determine a trajectory of ice falling from the second vehicle, based on at least one of the sensor data and additional environmental data;
- determine, a risk of the ice from the second vehicle striking the first vehicle based at least in part on the determined trajectory;
- and
- cause an action in the first vehicle based on the determined risk.
