1. A method comprising:
analyzing sensor data obtained using at least one sensor of a machine in an environment to detect a first object in at least one sensory field of the at least one sensor;
based at least on the first object being detected in the environment, configuring one or more settings for an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system or a collision mitigation warning (CMW) system associated with the machine to reduce a likelihood of a collision with the first object at a first location relative to the machine that would be caused by one or more of the AEB system or CMW system being triggered by a second object at a second location relative to the machine; and
based at least on the second object being detected in the environment, triggering one or more of the AEB system or the CMW system according to the one or more settings.
