Intermediate mounting component and sensor system for a Mansfield bar of a cargo trailer

A sensor system comprising:

• an intermediate mounting component comprising a first set of securing features removably mounted to a Mansfield bar of a cargo trailer, the intermediate mounting component further comprising a second set of securing features;
• a plurality of sensors mounted to the second set of securing features such that the plurality of sensors have a rearward field of view, the plurality of sensors comprising a first radar sensor and a second radar sensor spaced apart from one another along a length of the intermediate mounting component;
• and
• a communication interface dynamically transmitting sensor data from the plurality of sensors to an autonomous control system of self-driving semi-truck.
