Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for adjusting a position of a sensing device relative to a vehicle. In one embodiment, a system includes the sensing device configured to provide sensor data associated with an environment of the vehicle. The system further includes an adjustable sensor mount that mounts the sensing device to the vehicle. The system further includes a control module configured to process the sensor data to a representation of the environment of the vehicle, to process the representation to determine an obstruction within a field of view of the sensing device, to determine a location of the obstruction, and to control the adjustable sensor mount to a desired position based on the location.
