A system and method for collaborative sensing metrics map generation, includes receiving sensing metric datasets from a first plurality of vehicles for each of a plurality of nodes having an assigned region for an area of interest. For each node, a determination is made whether a first threshold number of sensing metric datasets have been received in a last predetermined time window sufficient to provide sensing metrics for the node. Upon expiration of a predetermined period, a sensing metrics map for the area of interest is provided based upon sensing metric datasets received in the last predetermined time window to a second plurality of vehicles.

Collaborative sensing metrics maps

A vehicle determines that a trigger state designated for user assistance for a user traveling away from a vehicle has occurred. The vehicle determines that an alert action to be taken, defined in conjunction with the trigger state and determines that a user has not returned to a vehicle based on a failure to detect a user wireless device. The vehicle automatically executes the alert action responsive to the trigger state occurrence and failure to detect the user device.
