Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving autonomous-vehicle sensor data from a sensor array of an autonomous vehicle. The autonomous-vehicle sensor data indicates an object in an external environment of the autonomous vehicle. The method also includes accessing secondary data associated with the object from one or more secondary-data sources that are independent of the sensor array of the autonomous vehicle. The method also includes determining, based on the autonomous-vehicle sensor data and the secondary data, an object graphic to visually represent the object. The method also includes providing for display a visual representation of the external environment of the autonomous vehicle that includes the determined object graphic to visually represent the object.
