Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a computer having a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
access sensor data of a first sensor of a vehicle while an adaptive cruise control feature of the vehicle is active and access vehicle tracking data identifying a set of previously-detected vehicles;
detect, based on the sensor data of the first sensor, a stationary object located along a path of travel of the vehicle, wherein the stationary object is located outside of a range of a second sensor of the vehicle;
identify, among the set of previously-detected vehicles, based on the sensor data of the first sensor, one or more previously detected vehicles that are present in lanes adjacent to a lane of the stationary object;
determine whether the one or more previously detected vehicles are stationary;
determine a presence of an intersection within a threshold distance of the stationary object that is along the path of travel of the vehicle;
responsive to a determination that the one or more previously detected vehicles are stationary, determine that the stationary object is a stopped vehicle of the intersection; and
responsive to the determination that the stationary object is the stopped vehicle of the intersection, adjust, by the adaptive cruise control feature, a speed of the vehicle.
