An automated driving system for an autonomous vehicle may include a perception system and a computing device for detecting and tracking a location of an object within an obstructed viewing region blocked from view of sensors associated with the perception system. The computing device and perception system may identify an obstructed viewing region and detect an external imaging assist device located within a sensor field of the perception system. The imaging assist device is capable of transmitting images of the obstructed viewing region to the perception system. The computing device analyzes the images received from the imaging assist device for purposes of detecting an object within the obstructed viewing region and tracking its location relative to the autonomous vehicle. The computing device may transmit a command to an autonomous vehicle system to implement an autonomous vehicle maneuver based at least in part on the tracked location of the hidden object.
