Claim 14:
15. A system for eliminating an appearance of one or more objects in a real-world environment surrounding a vehicle during operation of the vehicle, the system comprising:
an augmented reality display associated with the vehicle;
one or more first sensors onboard the vehicle and configured to capture first sensor data, wherein the first sensor data is representative of the real-world environment surrounding the vehicle that is observable within a field of view of the augmented reality display;
one or more second sensors associated with the vehicle and configured to detect at least a location of the vehicle within the real-world environment;
one or more processors; and
at least one memory, the one or more processors and the at least one memory configured to:
receive, from the one or more second sensors, data indicating at least the location of the vehicle within the real-world environment;
receive, from the one or more first sensors, the first sensor data;
detect the one or more objects in the first sensor data;
receive, from one or more other vehicles in the real-world environment, a location of each of the one or more other vehicles in the real-world environment;
receive, from the one or more other vehicles, second sensor data collected from one or more second sensors onboard the one or more other vehicles, wherein the second sensor data is representative of the real-world environment surrounding each of the one or more other vehicles;
generate one or more augmented reality images depicting portions of the real-world environment obstructed by the one or more objects in the first sensor data using the second sensor data collected from the one or more other vehicles and based on the location of each of the one or more other vehicles and the location of the vehicle; and
display, via the augmented reality display, the one or more augmented reality images such that the one or more augmented reality images are positioned to overlay the one or more objects.
