1. A monitoring system for an environment of a vehicle, the vehicle including a group of sensors adapted to cover various regions of the environment, comprising:
at least one electronic control unit; and
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which program code is stored, the program code, when executed by the electronic control unit, causing at least one of the at least one electronic control unit to perform the following steps:
obtaining information about a driving task of the vehicle,
classifying, based on the obtained information, the group of sensors into at least a first subset and a second subset so at to divide the group of sensors into subsets including the at least the first and second subsets, and
processing sensor data from the sensors of the first subset with higher priority than sensor data from the sensors of the second subset,
wherein the sensor data from the sensors of the first data set and the sensor data from the sensor data of the second data set are processed during the processing, and wherein (i) the sensor data from the sensors of the second subset are processed at a lower frequency than a frequency at which the sensor data of the sensors of the first subset are processed, or (ii) the sensor data from the sensors of the second subset are processed in an interleaved manner while the sensor data of the sensors from the sensors of the first subset are processed continuously.
