Abstract
An autonomous vehicle can include a perception sensor and one or more processors. The processors can be configured to automatically control the autonomous vehicle to an energy supply station to resupply the autonomous vehicle; detect an arrival of the autonomous vehicle at the energy supply station; detect a calibration target; collect data from the perception sensor corresponding with the calibration target; and calibrate the perception sensor based on the collected data.
