Vehicle sensor field calibration utilizing other vehicles

A sensor calibration system comprising:

• a subject sensor associated with a subject vehicle and operable to generate measurement data;
• a subject processor associated with the subject vehicle, the subject processor in data communication with the subject sensor and operable to detect a condition of the subject sensor warranting a calibration;
• a subject-location field-adjustable sensor in data communication with the subject processor, the subject-location sensor operable to generate subject-location data indicating the location of the subject-location sensor;
• a first processor associated with a first target vehicle, the first processor operable for data communication with the subject processor;
• a first location sensor in data communication with the first processor, the first location sensor operable to generate first-location data indicating the location of the first location sensor;
• a second processor associated with a second target vehicle, the second processor operable for data communication with the first processor;
• and
• a second location sensor in data communication with the second processor, the second location sensor operable to generate second-location data indicating the location of the second location sensor,
• wherein the subject processor is operable to control the subject sensor to generate first-measurement data indicating a distance between the subject sensor and the first target vehicle,
• wherein the subject processor is operable to generate subject-position data indicating the position of the subject sensor based upon the subject-location data and the first processor is operable to generate first-boundary data indicating positions of exterior surfaces of the first target vehicle based upon the first-location data,
• wherein the subject processor is further operable to generate first-expected data based upon the subject-position data and the first-boundary data,
• wherein the second processor is operable to generate second-boundary data indicating positions of exterior surfaces of the second target vehicle based upon the second-location data,
• wherein the subject processor is operable to control the subject sensor to generate second-measurement data indicating the distance between the subject sensor and the second vehicle,
• wherein the subject processor is further operable to generate second-expected data based upon the subject-position data and the second-boundary data, and
• wherein the subject processor is further operable to adjust the calibration settings of the field-adjustable subject sensor when the first measurement data does not conform to the first-expected data within a specified tolerance or the second-measurement data does not conform to the second-expected data within a specified tolerance.
