Automatic detection system for a vehicle

A detection system for a vehicle detecting an obstacle, the detection system comprising:

• a sensor positioned at at least one of a center of gravity of the vehicle and a wheel of the vehicle, the sensor configured to measure (a) a first measurement of a parameter of the vehicle prior to the wheel contacting the obstacle and (b) a second measurement of the parameter of the vehicle while the vehicle is contacting the obstacle;
• a first module configured to:
• determine whether a change is present in the vehicle based on the first measurement and the second measurement,
• calculate a dimension of the obstacle when the change is present based on the change in the vehicle, and
• store a global positioning system (GPS) location of the obstacle when the change is present;
• and
• a second module configured to actuate an actuator of the vehicle when the vehicle approaches the GPS location of the obstacle prior to the vehicle reaching the GPS location of the obstacle.
