    摘要: This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for providing a software sensor in a vehicle. In an example embodiment, a determination is made regarding the availability of a feature upgrade to a vehicle and a request may be made (to a cloud computer, for example), for obtaining the feature upgrade. The cloud computer provides an emulation software module based on emulating a first sensor that is unavailable in the vehicle. The feature upgrade may be installed in the vehicle by executing the emulation software module and by use of a second sensor that is available in the vehicle. In an example implementation, the second sensor available in the vehicle is a type of hardware sensor such as, for example, a camera, and the first sensor that is emulated is a different type of hardware sensor such as, for example, an air quality sensor.
