Claim 16:
17. A computer program product of an ego vehicle including computer code stored on a non-transitory memory that is operable, when executed by an onboard vehicle computer of the ego vehicle, to cause the onboard vehicle computer to execute operations including:
determine a location of an object of interest in a roadway environment that includes the ego vehicle and a set of remote connected vehicles, wherein the remote connected vehicles included in the set are equipped with forward-facing sensors;
segment the roadway environment into a plurality of segments; and
assign a priority score to a first segment within the plurality of segments based on (1) whether the forward-facing sensors of the remote connected vehicles present in the first segment are capable of measuring the object of interest and (2) proximity of the remote connected vehicles in the first segment to the object of interest; and
repeat the assignment operation for each segment within the plurality of segments, wherein the assignment step is configured so higher priority scores are assigned to individual segments if the remote connected vehicles present in the individual segments have forward-facing sensors that are capable of measuring the object of interest and the remote connected vehicles present in the individual segments are closer to the object of interest.
