Abstract: According to one aspect, a method includes obtaining an input and identifying at least a first vehicle which is to be commanded to perform at least one diagnostics test. The method also includes providing a remote diagnostics command to the first vehicle, the remote diagnostics command configured to command the first vehicle to perform at least a first diagnostics test, wherein the first diagnostics test is performed by the first vehicle on at least a first system included on the first vehicle. The first vehicle is monitored during the first diagnostics test. Diagnostics data associated with the first diagnostics test is obtained from the first vehicle and processed to generate diagnostics for the first vehicle.

Abstract: A sensor cleaning mechanism is provided herein. At least one sensor is configured to observe a condition associated with a vehicle. A housing is configured to be mounted on the vehicle. The housing includes a window surface configured to be disposed substantially within a field of view of the at least one sensor. A fluid providing mechanism is configured to provide fluid to the window surface. An actuating mechanism is configured to rotate the housing about the at least one sensor at a first speed, thereby causing at least a portion of the fluid to be expelled from the window surface. The actuating mechanism also can be configured to change a speed of rotation of the housing to a second speed, which is greater than zero, in response to a determination that the window surface is substantially clear of the fluid.
