Abstract
There are provided techniques including a system, method, and computer-readable medium for clock drift monitoring and correction for autonomous vehicles. The method may include the steps of: determining that a first clock or a second clock of a vehicle is unable to synchronize with a common master clock of the vehicle according to a clock synchronization protocol, wherein the first clock and the second clock are associated with a first device and a second device of the vehicle respectively; and in response: determining a first value indicating a relative clock drift between the first clock and the second clock; determining a first time associated with data provided by the second device to the first device, the first time being determined according to the second clock; and determining a corrected first time according to the first clock based at least in part on the first value and the first time.
