Claim One:
1. A method for fusing sensor information detected by a host vehicle and at least one remote vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication equipped vehicle, the method comprising: collecting visual data from an optical sensor of a vision sub-system, and generating a base lane model and a base confidence level from the visual data; collecting V2V data from a receiver of a V2V sub-system; fusing together the V2V data, the base lane model, and the base confidence level; generating a final lane model with a final confidence level from the fused together V2V data, the base lane model and the base confidence level; assigning a priority to the final lane model; and determining a location of an object in the final lane model relative to the host vehicle and assigning a high priority to the object when the object is in a lane also occupied by the host vehicle, and sending a command to at least one advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), and wherein the at least one ADAS performs a function to avoid the object to which a high priority has been assigned.
