A method for detecting and reporting cargo lost from an autonomous vehicle. The method includes receiving, from a plurality of sensors, at least one sensor signal representing one or more measurements of the vehicle, determining a mass of the vehicle based on the one or more measurements, estimating a center of mass along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle based on the one or more measurements and the mass, and receiving, from the plurality of sensors, at least one sensor signal representing one or more cargo loss-related conditions. The method also includes identifying one or more cargo loss-indicative conditions based on the center of mass estimation and the one or more cargo loss-related conditions, generating a lost cargo detection signal based on at least one of the one or more cargo loss-indicative conditions and a location of the vehicle, and transmitting the lost cargo detection signal to an external receiver.

Systems and methods for detecting cargo lost from an autonomous vehicle

An autonomous vehicle comprises a sensor, a plurality of paint dispensers, and one or more processors. The processors can be configured to collect, using the sensor, data regarding an environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle as the autonomous vehicle is moving on a surface; detect an event in the environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle from the collected data; determine an event type of the event based on the collected data; select a paint dispenser from the plurality of paint dispensers based on the determined event type; and automatically dispense paint from the selected paint dispenser onto the surface.

Aspects of this technical solution can include determining, by one or more processors of a liquid collection system and based on respective amounts of liquid detected by a plurality of sensors and a velocity of a vehicle, a direction of movement of the liquid. The plurality of sensors can each be associated with respective ones of a plurality of receptacles. The plurality of sensors can be configured to detect respective amounts of liquid collected by respective openings of each of the plurality of receptacles associated with corresponding directions of movement of a liquid. The plurality of receptacles can be configured to collect at least a portion of the liquid via the respective openings.
