A computer in a vehicle can determine a first distance from a vehicle to a traffic object and receive, via a network interface, a second distance from a second vehicle to the traffic object and a third distance from the second vehicle to the vehicle. The computer can determine a fourth distance by triangulation based on the second distance and the third distance and pilot the vehicle based on combining the first distance and the fourth distance.
