The camera is configured to capture a current image from a field-of-view proximate to a vehicle. The GPS device is configured to determine a current location of the current image. The controller is configured to determine if the current location corresponds to a prior location, compare a prior image of the prior location to the current image, and indicate if an unexpected object is present in the current image.
