The subject matter described in this specification is directed to a computer system and techniques for determining a location of an autonomous vehicle. The computer system is configured to determine the location using localization data from multiple data sources. When the localization data from the multiple data sources is unavailable or inaccurate, the computer system is configured to determine the location using predefined features of the environment.

Localization based on predefined features of the environment

Among other things, we describe systems and method for improving vehicle operations using movable sensors. A vehicle can be configured with one or more sensors having the capability to be extended and/or rotated. The one or more movable sensors can be caused to move based on a determined context of the vehicle, to capture additional data associated with the environment in which the vehicle is operating.
