1. A method comprising:
- automatically obtaining, via an interface onboard a vehicle, one or more remote sensor values via a wireless network from a remote source that is remote from the vehicle;
obtaining one or more vehicle sensor values from one or more sensors that are disposed onboard the vehicle;
comparing the one or more remote sensor values with the one or more vehicle sensor values, generating a comparison between the one or more remote sensor values and the one or more vehicle sensor values; and
controlling, via a processor, one or more functions of the vehicle using the comparison between the one or more remote sensor values and the one or more vehicle sensor values.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for using remote sensor data for a vehicle. The vehicle includes a control system, an interface, and a processor. The interface is configured to automatically obtain one or more remote sensor values via a wireless network from a remote source that is remote from the vehicle. The processor is coupled to the control system and the interface, and is configured to control one or more functions of the control system using the one or more remote sensor values.

9. A system comprising:
-
an interface disposed onboard a vehicle, the vehicle including a front dash having a front dash display, the interface configured to automatically obtain one or more remote sensor values via a wireless network from a remote source that is remote from the vehicle; and a processor coupled to the interface, the processor configured to automatically provide the one or more remote sensor values on the front dash display of the vehicle;
wherein;the interface is configured to obtain one or more vehicle sensor values from one or more sensors onboard the vehicle; and the processor is configured to conduct a rationality check for the one or more vehicle sensor values using the one or more remote sensor values. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system comprising:
-
an interface disposed onboard a vehicle, the interface configured to automatically obtain remote sensor values via a wireless network from multiple remote sources that are remote from the vehicle, the multiple remote sources each having a respective distance from the vehicle; and a processor coupled to the interface, the processor configured to; generate one or more interpolated values by interpolating the remote sensor values utilizing the respective distances of the multiple remote sources from the vehicle; and automatically control one or more functions for operation of the vehicle using the one or more interpolated values. - View Dependent Claims (19)
