Vehicle exterior conditioning
A system includes a computer programmed to receive image data of an exterior of a vehicle from an external image device. The computer is further programmed to, upon determining that a difference between the received image data and stored baseline image data exceeds a threshold, actuate the vehicle to navigate to a car wash location.
1. A system comprising, a computer programmed to:
receive image data of an exterior of a vehicle from an external image device;
select baseline image data based on a location of the external image device relative to the vehicle; and
upon determining that a difference between the received image data and the selected baseline image data exceeds a threshold, actuate the vehicle to navigate to a car wash location.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the external image device is supported by one of a second vehicle, a drone, and an infrastructure device.
3. The system of claim 1 , the computer further programmed to recognize the location of the external image device relative to the vehicle as at least one of in front of the vehicle, behind the vehicle, and to a side of the vehicle.
4. The system of claim 1 , the computer further programmed to transmit an image request based on at least one of a location of the vehicle, information from a vehicle sensor indicating vehicle suspension actuation above a threshold, and information from a vehicle sensor indicating vehicle brake actuation above a threshold.
5. The system of claim 1 , the computer further programmed to determine the difference between the received image data and stored baseline image data based on an analysis of at least one of a brightness and a color.
6. The system of claim 1 , the computer further programmed to actuate an image device of the vehicle to capture an image of a windshield of the vehicle and to actuate the vehicle to navigate to the car wash location upon an identification of an arc in the captured image.
7. The system of claim 6 , the computer further programmed to identify the arc based on a comparison of the captured image of the windshield with stored baseline image data of the windshield.
8. The system of claim 6 , the computer further programmed to actuate a wiper system within a threshold amount of time before capturing the image of the windshield.
9. The system of claim 1 , the computer further programmed to actuate an image device of the vehicle to capture image data of an exterior of a second vehicle and to transmit the image data to the second vehicle.
10. A method comprising:
transmitting an image request based on at least one of a location of the vehicle, information from a vehicle sensor indicating vehicle suspension actuation above a threshold, and information from a vehicle sensor indicating vehicle brake actuation above a threshold;
receiving image data of an exterior of a vehicle from an external image device; and
upon determining that a difference between the received image data and stored baseline image data exceeds a threshold, actuating the vehicle to navigate to a car wash location.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the external image device is supported by one of a second vehicle, a drone, and an infrastructure device.
12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising selecting the baseline image data based on a location of the external image device relative to the vehicle.
13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising recognizing the location of the external image device relative to the vehicle as at least one of in front of the vehicle, behind the vehicle, and to a side of the vehicle.
14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising determining the difference between the received image data and stored baseline image data based on an analysis of at least one of a brightness and a color.
15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising actuating an image device of the vehicle to capture an image of a windshield of the vehicle and actuating the vehicle to navigate to the car wash location upon identifying an arc in the captured image.
16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising actuating a wiper system within a threshold amount of time before capturing the image of the windshield.
17. The method of claim 10 , further comprising actuating an image device of the vehicle to capture image data of an exterior of a second vehicle and transmitting the image data to the second vehicle.
18. A system comprising, a computer programmed to:
actuate an image device of a vehicle to capture an image of a windshield of the vehicle;
identify an arc in the captured image based on one of a comparison of the captured image of the windshield with stored baseline image data of the windshield or a comparison of pixels in the captured image of the windshield in an area above and below where the arc is expected to form; and
to actuate the vehicle to navigate to a car wash location upon identifying the arc in the captured image.
19. The system of claim 18 , the computer further programmed to identify the arc based on the comparison of the captured image of the windshield with stored baseline image data of the windshield.
20. The system of claim 18 , the computer further programmed to actuate a wiper system of the vehicle within a threshold amount of time before capturing the image of the windshield.
