A method for identifying misalignments of a sensor of a sensor system of a motor vehicle, having at least one further sensor. The method includes ascertaining an associated position of an object in an overlap zone of at least two detection zones by way of the respective sensor which forms the overlap zone, comparing the ascertained positions with one another and, in the event of a deviation of the positions, identifying a misalignment. Alternatively or additionally, the movement of an object in a detection zone of a sensor can be tracked and used for identifying a misalignment.

A vehicle control device is mountable on a vehicle. The vehicle control device includes: a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the vehicle control device to perform operations including: acquiring detection information obtained by detecting an obstacle around the vehicle; performing collision determination of evaluating a possibility of collision with the obstacle; generating, based on the detection information, information on an approaching object that is an obstacle approaching the vehicle and information on a detection point indicating an obstacle that does not move; estimating a position of a shielding object based on the information on the detection point; evaluating, based on the position of the shielding object and the information on the approaching object, a ghost likelihood indicating a possibility that the approaching object is a ghost; and excluding, based on the ghost likelihood, the approaching object from the collision determination.

A vehicular sensing system includes at least one radar sensor disposed at a vehicle and capturing radar data, an electronic control unit (ECU) having a data processor for processing radar data captured by the at least one radar sensor to detect an object present exterior of the vehicle.
