Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for self-driving vehicle sensor fault remediation are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes detecting a fault in one or more sensors of a self-driving vehicle; determining a remedial action in response to the detected fault, wherein said determining comprises (i) comparing the fault to a database comprising (a) historical sensor fault information and (b) sensor fault remedy information, and (ii) analyzing one or more items of contextual information pertaining to the location of the self-driving vehicle; generating a signal comprising one or more instructions pertaining to carrying out the determined remedial action; and outputting the generated signal to one or more remote-controlled pilotless airborne devices configured to remotely carry out the determined remedial action on the self-driving vehicle.
