Abstract
A sensor system includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a cover, and a control device. The first sensor detects, with first light, a state of a first area located outside a vehicle and outputs first detecting information corresponding to the state. The second sensor detects, with second light, a state of a second area located outside the vehicle and at least partially overlapping with the first area, and outputs second detecting information corresponding to the state. The cover covers at least one of the first and second sensors while forming a part of an outer face of the vehicle and allows passage of at least one of the first and second light. The control device detects an abnormality of the cover based on an inconsistency between the first and second detecting information that are outputted for an area where the first area and the second area overlap.
