Abstract
Methods and systems provide for technology to identify a trigger event. In response to the trigger event, the technology executes a triangulation process that includes a transmission and reception of triangulation signals between the plurality of ECUs to identify current positions of the plurality of ECUs. A first current position among the current positions is associated with a first ECU among the plurality of ECUs. The technology conducts an identification that the first current position is different from a first recorded position of the first ECU. In response to the identification that the first current position is different from the first recorded position, the technology identifies an adjustment factor based on the first current position. The technology calibrates one or more of the plurality of ECUs based on the adjustment factor to adjust control of at least one system of a plurality of systems of the vehicle.
