Abstract
A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive sensor data indicating a current position of an object, determine a predicted position of the object at a future time, and instruct a component of a vehicle to actuate based on the current position being in a first zone of a plurality of zones surrounding the vehicle and the predicted position being in a second zone of the plurality of zones different than the first zone. The zones are nonoverlapping and have preset boundaries relative to the vehicle.
