First Claim
1. A motor vehicle system for generating and transmitting detected object attributes, comprising:
- a communication system module positioned in a host vehicle receiving vehicle attribute data and preparing a fused object attribute data for transmission to a target vehicle;
a vehicle track data sub-module of the communication system module used to independently track at least one sensed vehicle and the target vehicle;
an object detection and classification system module having a 3D object detection module used to identify a vehicle type of the at least one sensed vehicle and the target vehicle defined at least by a vehicle size and to generate an object attribute data; and
a target fusion module receiving the object attribute data from the object detection and classification system module, fusing the object attribute data with the vehicle attribute data to create the fused object attribute data, and forwarding the fused object attribute data to the communication system module for transmission;
a decision module in communication with both the vehicle track data sub-module and the object detection and classification system module, wherein the vehicle attribute data is tracked by the vehicle track data sub-module and compared to the object attribute data generated in the object detection and classification system module; and
a track data generator module, wherein when the vehicle attribute data tracked by the vehicle track data sub-module is not coincident with the object attribute data, the vehicle attribute data is communicated directly to the track data generator module where a situational awareness of the vehicle attribute data is monitored.

Abstract
A motor vehicle system for generating and transmitting detected object attributes includes a communication system module positioned in a host vehicle receiving vehicle attribute data from a target vehicle and a sensed vehicle and preparing a fused object attribute data for transmission to the target vehicle. A vehicle track data sub-module in communication with the communication system module independently tracks the sensed vehicle and the target vehicle. An object detection and classification system module having a 3D object detection module identifies a vehicle type defined at least by a vehicle size and generates an object attribute data. A target fusion module receives the object attribute data from the object detection and classification system module, fuses the object attribute data with the vehicle attribute data to create the fused object attribute data, and forwards the fused object attribute data to the communication system module for transmission.
