A crowdsourced virtual sensor generator is provided which could be generated by a vehicle or provided to the vehicle as, for example, a service. The crowdsourced virtual sensor generator may include, but is not limited to, a communication system configured to receive contributing vehicle sensor data from one or more contributing vehicles, a location of the one or more contributing vehicles and a target vehicle, and a processor, the processor configured to filter the received contributing vehicle sensor data based upon the location of the one or more contributing vehicles and the location of the target vehicle, aggregate the filtered contributing vehicle sensor data into at least one of a data-specific dataset and an application-specific data set, and generate a virtual sensor for the target vehicle, the virtual sensor processing the filtered and aggregated contributing vehicle sensor data to generate output data relative to the location of the target vehicle.
