Abstract
Techniques for, among other things, detecting faults associated with inertial measurement units (IMUs) of a vehicle when multiple IMUs are coupled to the vehicle are described herein. The techniques may include receiving first data from a first IMU of the vehicle and receiving second data from a second IMU of the vehicle. Based at least in part on the first data and the second data, a rotation of the first IMU relative to the second IMU may be calculated. The calculated rotation between the first IMU and the second IMU may be indicative of a fault associated with the first IMU or the second IMU. In response to detecting the fault, an action may be performed with respect to the first IMU or the second IMU to correct for the fault.
