Among other things, we describe techniques for an interface board for harmonizing performance of different autonomous vehicles in a fleet. In an embodiment, the interface system includes a printed circuit board installed in a host vehicle that includes an interface controller and interface circuitry coupled to the interface controller. The interface circuitry includes a plurality of relays configured by the interface controller to route/pass sensor signals received from actuators of the host vehicle to the interface controller, and route/pass control signals from the interface controller to actuator controllers of the host vehicle that control the actuators in accordance with an operating mode. Signal conditioning circuitry in the interface controller conditions the sensor signals and control signals to ensure that the electrical characteristics of the sensor signals are compatible with the interface controller, and that the electrical characteristics of the control signals are compatible with the actuator controllers.
