Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed are control algorithms and system architectures for managing wireless vehicle charging, including vehicles with rechargeable battery packs, wireless charging capabilities, and control logic for governing such charging. A method is disclosed for managing charging of an electrical storage unit of a motor vehicle at a wireless vehicle charging station. The method includes: receiving a sensor signal indicating detection of an obstruction within a predetermined proximity of the vehicle charging station; determining whether the detected obstruction is living or lifeless; initiating, via a vehicle controller responsive to the detected obstruction being a living object, a first remedial action strategy that commands the vehicle to generate a visual or audible cue to drive away the living object; and, initiating, via the vehicle controller responsive to the detected obstruction being a lifeless object, a second remedial action strategy that commands the motor vehicle to move and thereby avoid contact with the object.
