Abstract
An object-detection system suitable for use in an automated vehicle includes a transceiver, and object-detector, and a controller. The transceiver is suitable to install on a host-vehicle. The transceiver is used to receive an indicated-location of an object proximate to the host-vehicle. The object-detector is suitable to install on the host-vehicle. The object-detector is used to detect a relative-location of the object relative to the host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the transceiver and the object-detector. The controller determines a confirmed-location of the object relative to the host-vehicle based on the indicated-location and the relative-location. Determining the confirmed-location of the object allows for selecting from a variety of optimized algorithms to better track subsequent expected motion of the object, and reducing the risk of unnecessary or erratic action by the host-vehicle caused by hacking of the wireless-transmission or deliberate malicious content in the wireless-transmission.
