1. An in-vehicle sensor system, comprising:
a surrounding sensor including:
a casing removably mounted to a bracket fixed to a vehicle body of a vehicle;
a detector which is supported by the casing, and is configured to output detection data representing a situation within a detection range determined through use of, as a reference, an axis extending from a predetermined point of the detector; and
a first storage having stored therein first data corresponding to a deviation amount of an actual position and an actual posture of the detector with respect to the casing from a predetermined normal design position and a predetermined normal design posture of the detector with respect to the casing;
a second storage which is provided separately from the surrounding sensor and is fixed to the vehicle body, and is configured to store second data corresponding to a deviation amount of an actual position and an actual posture of the casing with respect to the vehicle body from a predetermined normal design position and a predetermined normal design posture of the casing with respect to the vehicle body; and
a corrector which is provided on one of an inner side and an outer side of the casing, and is configured to read out, when the second data is stored in the second storage, the first data and the second data from the first storage and the second storage, respectively, and to correct the detection data output from the detector based on the read-out first data and the read-out second data, to thereby generate and output data expected to be output by the detector when it is assumed that the detector is fixed at a predetermined normal design position and in a predetermined normal design posture with respect to the vehicle body.
