1. A system, comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions including:
- determining a roadway lane and a direction of travel of a host vehicle based on a sound from an impact between a tire of the host vehicle and a set of protrusions in a roadway;
receiving a communication from a target vehicle, the communication identifying a roadway lane and a direction of travel of the target vehicle and including a warning;
comparing the roadway lane of the host vehicle to the roadway lane of the target vehicle and comparing the direction of travel of the host vehicle to the direction of travel of the target vehicle;
ignoring the communication when the warning is a first type of warning and the roadway lane of the host vehicle is the same as the roadway lane of the target vehicle;
controlling a vehicle subsystem in accordance with the communication and the warning when the warning is a second type of warning and the roadway lane of the host vehicle is the same as the roadway lane of the target vehicle; and
ignoring the communication when the warning is a third type of warning and the direction of travel of the host vehicle is different from the direction of travel of the target vehicle.

Abstract
A roadway lane of a host vehicle is determined based on a sound from an impact between a tire of the host vehicle and a set of protrusions in a roadway. A communication is received from a target vehicle. The communication identifies a roadway lane of the target vehicle. The roadway lane of the host vehicle is compared to the roadway lane of the target vehicle. A vehicle subsystem is controlled in accordance with the communication based at least in part on whether the roadway lane of the host vehicle is the same as the roadway lane of the target vehicle.

19. A method, comprising:
-
determining a roadway lane and a direction of travel of a host vehicle based on a sound from an impact between a tire of the host vehicle and a set of protrusions in a roadway; receiving a first communication from a first target vehicle, the first communication identifying a roadway lane and a direction of travel of the first target vehicle and including a first warning; receiving a second communication from a second target vehicle, the second communication identifying a roadway lane and a direction of travel of the second target vehicle and including a second warning; comparing the roadway lane of the host vehicle to the roadway lanes of the first and second target vehicles; comparing the direction of travel of the host vehicle to the direction of travel of the first target vehicle; based at least in part on the first warning, ignoring the first communication when the roadway lane of the host vehicle is the same as the roadway lane of the first target vehicle; based at least in part on the first warning, ignoring the first communication when the direction of travel of the host vehicle differs from the direction of travel of the first target vehicle; and based at least in part on the second warning, controlling a vehicle subsystem in accordance with the second communication and the second warning when the roadway lane of the host vehicle is the same as the roadway lane of the second target vehicle.
