1. A method for detecting remote objects from within a host vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

  • generating a first set of sensed data using a first object sensor;

    generating a second set of sensed data using a second object sensor;

    detecting an object using the sensed data from the first object sensor;

    upon detecting the object using the sensed data from the first object sensor, changing a setting associated with the second object sensor to increase a probability of detecting the object using the second set of sensed data from the second object sensor, wherein the step of changing a setting associated with the second object sensor to increase the probability of detecting the object using the second set of sensed data from the second object sensor comprises reducing at least one of a detection threshold and a tracker threshold associated with the second object sensor only within an angle range associated with the detected object to increase the probability of detecting the object using the second set of sensed data from the second object sensor.
