Abstract
A method disclosed comprises receiving sensor data indicating probable damage to the autonomous vehicle from a sensor aboard the autonomous vehicle. The method analyzing the sensor data using a decision engine to determine a confidence factor associated with the probable damage to the autonomous vehicle, and, based on the confidence factor meeting a threshold value, determining an occurrence of a condition causing damage. The method includes sending a command to a vehicle actuation manager to move the autonomous vehicle to a safe location in response to the condition and sending an alert. Systems implementing similar aspects are also disclosed.
