Abstract
A cargo position tracking routine implemented in an electronic control unit of an automotive vehicle uses machine vision to monitor the position of cargo in a cargo area of an automotive vehicle and determine whether the cargo has shifted. Upon determining that the cargo has shifted, the cargo position tracking routine causes a driver of the vehicle to be alerted.
