Abstract

The disclosure generally relates to autonomous or semi-autonomous driving vehicles. An exemplary embodiment of the disclosure relates to a system to provide one or more threat vectors to a cluster of vehicles. An exemplary vehicle detection system includes a communication module configured to receive a first threat vector from a first vehicle in a cluster of vehicles. The first threat vector may include a plurality of primary attributes associated with a moving object. The vehicle detection system may also include a detector module configured to detect the moving object and to provide one or more secondary attributes associated with the moving object; and a controller to construct a second threat vector as a function of one or more of the first threat vector, the primary attributes and the secondary attributes associated with the moving object.
