1. A method of operating a vehicle apparatus, comprising:
monitoring, via a set of sensors communicatively coupled to the vehicle apparatus, a field of view (FOV) of the vehicle apparatus;
detecting a first occluded region within the FOV based on the monitoring;
transmitting, based on the monitoring, a first message that requests sensor data from one or more neighboring devices and indicates at least one sensor data filtering condition for the requested sensor data and comprises an image captured from a camera of the vehicle apparatus; and
receiving, from at least one of the one or more neighboring communication devices in response to the first message, a second message that includes information that is based on sensor data collected at the at least one neighboring communication device and is filtered based on the at least one sensor data filtering condition; and
implementing one or more Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) actions or one or more Automated Driving System (ADS) actions based on the information of the second message,
wherein the at least one sensor data filtering condition for the requested sensor data comprises image data that depicts at least the first occluded region within the FOV, and wherein the one or more ADAS or ADS actions comprise controlling at least one of steering or braking.
