Systems and methods to control operations of add-on vehicle sensors

A method comprising:

• determining, by a processor, that an add-on sensor is connected to a vehicle;
• determining, by the processor, a location of the add-on sensor on the vehicle;
• determining, by the processor, a preferred manner to control an operation of the add-on sensor based on a user input;
• and
• controlling, by the processor, the operation of the add-on sensor based on the preferred manner and at least one of vehicle operational parameters or the location of the add-on sensor.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• determine that an add-on sensor is connected to a vehicle;
• determine a location of the add-on sensor on the vehicle;
• determine a preferred manner to control an operation of the add-on sensor based on a user input;
• and
• control the operation of the add-on sensor based on the preferred manner and at least one of vehicle operational parameters or the location of the add-on sensor.
