Methods and systems for determining whether a camera of an autonomous vehicle (AV) is calibrated are disclosed. The method includes determining a relative positional range for a calibration target with respect to the AV, capturing a plurality of images of the calibration target, using the camera when the calibration target and the AV are positioned within the relative positional range, measuring a camera-based calibration factor and a motion-based validation factor based on the plurality of images for generating a confidence score, and generating a signal indicating that the camera is not calibrated when the confidence score is below a threshold.

Systems and methods for autonomous vehicle sensor calibration and validation

This document discloses system, method, and computer program product embodiments for preparing a fleet of vehicles for service. For example, the method includes receiving: a set of mission types, a set of mission requests, vehicle information related to vehicles of a fleet, and personnel information. The method further includes applying the set of mission types and the set of mission requests to one or more priority engines to produce a prioritized list of mission requests. The method further includes applying the received vehicle information, the received personnel information, and the prioritized list of mission requests to one or more rules engines to produce a proposed schedule of missions for a period of time, generating software and/or map data for one or more of the vehicles, and providing the generated software and/or map data to the vehicles prior to the period of time.
