Abstract
A vehicle includes a vehicle engine, a steering control unit, an on-board sensor network and a virtual hazard inference system. The vehicle engine generates a torque output of the vehicle. The steering control unit controls a steering angle of the vehicle. The on-board sensor network is programmed to detect external objects within a detection zone. The virtual hazard inference system has a processor programmed to infer a presence of an occluded object that is not detected by the on-board sensor network. The processor controls the vehicle engine and the steering control unit to perform at least one of a torque control operation and a steering control operation.
