Abstract

A feature avoidance system for a vehicle including at least one ultrasonic sensor disposed on a vehicle and communicatively coupled to a vehicle controller. A dynamic vehicle model is stored in the controller. The dynamic vehicle model is a computer model of current and expected dynamic vehicle component positioning. An analysis module configured cause at least one of the controller and a remote processing system to identify a feature at least partially via data from the at least one ultrasonic sensor, compare a predicted feature position and an estimated vehicle component position, and generate an output in response to the predicted feature position and the estimated vehicle component position intersecting.
