    Abstract: A system for detecting sensor position change (DCPC) on movable vehicle components includes two or more sensors on at least one of the movable vehicle components. The sensors detect optical information within a distinct field of view (FOV) about an environment surrounding the vehicle. The distinct FOV of each sensor at least partially overlaps with an FOV of at least one other sensor. The system includes controllers that execute an application for DCPC. The DCPC application acquires overlapping optical information from the sensors, computes a conditional correspondence probability distribution for feature points in the overlapping optical information, computes a normalized joint entropy of the feature points, determines that the sensor is in a position manageable by the DCPC, continuously monitors positions of each of the sensors, selectively dynamically aligns the sensors, and ensures that the sensors are calibrated for vehicle perception tasks including advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) functions.

    Abstract: A camera of a vehicle has a field of view. A perception module of the vehicle is configured to determine a location of an object relative to the vehicle based on a model for the camera and a camera ground truth orientation of the camera. A calibration module is configured to: wirelessly receive images from the camera; determine a vehicle camera target based on the images; when the vehicle camera target is aligned with a calibration module target on the calibration module, determine a present orientation of the calibration module measured using a gyroscope of the calibration module; when at least one component of the present orientation of the calibration module is different than the at least one component of an expected orientation of the calibration module, determine an updated camera ground truth orientation of the camera; and wirelessly transmit the updated ground truth orientation to the vehicle.

    Abstract: A system and method of enabling or disabling vehicle features based on vehicle location, wherein the method includes: receiving a localized geographical vehicle feature map at the vehicle from a remote server, wherein the localized geographical vehicle feature map includes geographical vehicle feature map data, wherein the geographical vehicle feature map data includes geographical regions associated with vehicle feature data that indicates whether one or more vehicle features are enabled and/or disabled; monitoring vehicle location; based on the monitoring of the vehicle location, determining that the vehicle is located within or approaching a particular geographical region of the geographical regions included in the localized geographical vehicle feature map; determining at least one vehicle feature associated with the particular geographical region based on accessing the localized geographical vehicle feature map; and enabling and/or disabling the at least one vehicle feature based on information contained within the localized geographical vehicle feature map.

    Abstract: An automotive vehicle includes a sensor configured to detect features external to the vehicle, an HMI configured to signal an alert to an operator of the vehicle, and a controller. The controller is in communication with the sensor and the HMI, and is in communication with a non-transient computer-readable storage medium provided with a road furniture database. The road furniture database includes a plurality of items of road furniture having associated road furniture geolocations and road furniture classifications. The controller is configured to, in response to the vehicle being proximate a respective road furniture geolocation for a respective item of road furniture and the sensor not detecting the respective item of road furniture, control the HMI to signal an alert.
