1. A vehicle comprising:
a plurality of wheel assemblies;
a body supported on the plurality of wheel assemblies and having a cab and a cargo bed providing a cargo area for receiving a cargo load;
a load sensing system configured to sense a vehicle load and generate vehicle load signals indicative of the sensed vehicle load;
an object recognition system comprising a rearward facing first imaging device located on the cab proximate to a CHMSL which is located forward and above the cargo bed and configured to capture first images of the cargo area and a communication device configured to receive second images of the cargo area captured by a second imaging device located on another motor vehicle having wheel assemblies and located behind the vehicle, wherein the first and second images are used to detect one or more objects in the cargo area and recognize the one or more objects; and
a controller processing the recognized one or more objects and determining dimensions of the cargo load and an estimated center of gravity of the cargo load based on the dimensions of the one or more objects in the cargo area, the controller generating an output indicative of the estimated center of gravity of the cargo load, wherein the controller determines the dimensions of the cargo load and the estimated center of gravity of the cargo load based on the dimensions of the one or more objects detected with the first imaging device and further determines if the first imaging device is blocked and, if so, determines the dimensions of the cargo load and the estimated center of gravity of the cargo load based on the second images captured by the second imaging device.
