Abstract
A vehicle sensor system for providing data for performance of vehicle features may include a plurality of sensors arranged on a vehicle, each sensor having a sensor profile, a memory configured to maintain the sensor profile, and a controller in communication with the plurality of sensors and memory and configured to receive data from each of the plurality of sensors in order at least one vehicle feature, detect a failure of a first sensor in which the first sensor fails to provide sensor data necessary to provide the vehicle feature, and use sensor data received from the second sensor to provide the vehicle feature in response to the sensor profile of the second sensor including a required attribute of the first sensor.
Claims20
A vehicle sensor system for providing data for performance of vehicle features, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors arranged on a vehicle, each sensor having a sensor profile;
- a memory configured to maintain the sensor profile;
- a controller in communication with the plurality of sensors and memory and configured to:
- receive data from each of the plurality of sensors to provide at least one vehicle feature;
- detect a failure of a first sensor in which the first sensor fails to provide sensor data necessary to provide the vehicle feature;
- use sensor data received from a second sensor to provide the vehicle feature in response to the sensor profile of the second sensor including a required attribute of the first sensor.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium tangibly embodying computer readable instructions for a software program, the software program being executable by a processor of a computing device to provide operations comprising:
- receiving receive data from each of a plurality of sensors to provide at least one vehicle feature;
- detecting a failure of a first sensor in which the first sensor fails to provide sensor data necessary to provide the vehicle feature;
- use sensor data received from a second sensor to provide the vehicle feature in response to the sensor profile of the second sensor including a required attribute of the first sensor.
A method for providing data from sensors of a vehicle,
- receiving receive data from each of a plurality of sensors in order to provide at least one vehicle feature;
- detecting a failure of a first sensor in which the first sensor fails to provide sensor data necessary to provide the vehicle feature;
- compare a required attribute of the first sensor with a sensor profile of a second sensor;
- and
- use sensor data received from a second sensor to provide the vehicle feature in response to the sensor profile of the second sensor including a required attribute of the first sensor.
