Selective vehicle sensor actuation

Abstract

A system can include a computer coupled to a memory storing instructions to determine an upcoming interval for operating a sensor at a planned destination and to determine an upcoming duration for travel to the planned destination. In response to determining that a battery coupled to the sensor includes a state-of-charge (SOC) that is insufficient to operate the sensor for the upcoming interval, programming of the computer can schedule a charge interval during vehicle travel to the planned destination and actuate the battery charging according to the scheduled charge interval during the vehicle travel.
