A computer in a first vehicle 202 can determine a measure of a first distance D1 from a first vehicle to a traffic object 210 and receive, via a network interface, a measure of a second distance D2 from a second vehicle 208 to the traffic object and a measure of a third distance D3 from the second vehicle to the first vehicle. The computer can determine a measure of a fourth distance by triangulation based on the second distance and the third distance. The first and fourth distances both being a measure of the distance from the first vehicle to the traffic object. The vehicle being piloted based on combining the first distance and the fourth distance. Preferably the first and fourth distances have an associated accuracy rating and if they significantly differ, the distance with the highest accuracy is used. The system also preferably can operate with second and third distance data being transferred from multiple vehicles to the first vehicle.
