Abstract
Examples of techniques for controlling a vehicle based on trailer position are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes extracting, by a processing device, a feature point on a trailer from an image captured by a camera associated with a vehicle, the trailer being coupled to the vehicle. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, a distance between the feature point on the trailer and a virtual boundary. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the distance between the feature point on the trailer and the virtual boundary is less than a threshold, controlling, by the processing device, the vehicle to cause the distance between the feature point on the trailer and the virtual boundary to increase.
