  • Patent number: 10843669
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for controlling a sensor system. More particularly, a sensor control system can access respective first data and second data descriptive of one or more monitored parameters associated with a first sensor of an autonomous vehicle. Based on the first data and the second data, the sensor control system can determine that a change in the one or more monitored parameters between the first sensor and the one or more second sensors has exceeded a predetermined threshold level. In response, the sensor control system can implement a control action relative to at least the first sensor (e.g., initiating cleaning of the first sensor, adjusting alignment of the first sensor, determining a compensation factor for the first data received from the first sensor, or communicating a signal request for service of the first sensor).
