Abstract

A system for detecting a road surface includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to determine a virtual boundary for a vehicle body based on a shape of the vehicle body, to identify one or more objects based on vehicle sensor data, based on the identified one or more objects, the determined virtual boundary, and an input to at least one of propulsion, steering, or braking, to determine at least one of a braking override or a steering override, and based on the determination, to perform at least one of adjusting a vehicle steering and a vehicle speed.
