Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for detecting unclassified hazards for a driver assistance system of a vehicle. The systems include a data storage device comprising map data, one or more sensors configured to generate sensor data indicative of one or more sensed objects in proximity to the vehicle, and a controller configured to, by one or more processors thereof, receive the map data and the sensor data, filter the sensor data to omit at least one of the sensed objects located outside of a bounding area that includes a portion of an adjacent lane next to a current lane in which the vehicle is operating, determine whether an unclassified hazard is present in the adjacent lane, and maintain operation of the vehicle in the current lane in response to a determination that the unclassified hazard is present in the adjacent lane.
