Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  B  G | IPC B  G  H

Claim 12:
13. A system of an ego vehicle comprising:
a communication unit;
a non-transitory memory;
and a processor communicatively coupled to the communication unit and the non-transitory memory, wherein the non-transitory memory stores computer readable code that is operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the processor to execute steps including:
determining 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;
segmenting the roadway environment into a plurality of segments; and
assigning 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
repeating the assignment step 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.
