Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to a vehicle system for an autonomous or semi-autonomous motor vehicle, and a perception system for managing a plurality of interconnected motor vehicles. More specifically, the vehicle system has a control unit for retrieving a relative position of an object in a surrounding environment of the vehicle by means of a sensory system and for retrieving a heading of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the control unit is configured to receive data from a different motor vehicle comprising the heading of the different motor vehicle and the position of the object relative to the different motor vehicle. The control unit is further configured to translate this external measurement to a local coordinate system in order to add redundancy to the measurement (and thereby accuracy) by utilizing a distributed system approach and therefore reduce the need for adding cost and complexity to each vehicle system in order to achieve increased accuracy.
