Abstract
A sensor-control system for operating an automated vehicle includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The first sensor is used to detect objects proximate to a host-vehicle. The first sensor is characterized by a first-sensing-technology. The second sensor is used to detect objects proximate to the host-vehicle. The second sensor is characterized by a second-sensing-technology different from the first-sensing-technology. The controller is in communication with the first sensor and the second sensor. A location of an object detected by the first-sensor is used to select a field-of-view of the second-sensor.
Claims6
A sensor-control system for operating an automated vehicle, said system comprising:
- a first sensor used to detect objects proximate to a host-vehicle, said first sensor characterized by a first-sensing-technology;
- a second sensor used to detect objects proximate to the host-vehicle, said second sensor characterized by a second-sensing-technology different from the first-sensing-technology;
- a controller in communication with the first sensor and the second sensor, wherein a location of an object detected by the first-sensor is used to select a field-of-view of the second-sensor.
