Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle (AV); determining that a first sensor of the one or more sensors needs recalibration based on the sensor data. The first sensor being of a first sensor type. The method also includes sending a request to a remote management system indicating that one or more of the sensors of the AV need recalibration and a location of the AV; determining the presence of a service vehicle having a calibration target configured to calibrate sensors of the first sensor type; and initiating a calibration routine using the calibration target.
