Abstract
Systems and techniques for detecting and locating low impact collisions, such as relatively low energy impact collisions involving an autonomous vehicle, are disclosed herein. Sensor data from audio sensors configured on a vehicle may be used to determine whether a threshold number of such sensors have detected sounds associated with a collision. Scores determined for the sensors based on audio energy and confidence values can be used to determine a location estimate for the detected collision.
