Abstract
Techniques for determining whether data associated with an autonomous navigation of an unmanned vehicle may be trusted. For example, navigation-related data may be provided from a source external to the unmanned vehicle. Image data associated with the autonomous navigation may be generated. The navigation-related data and the image data may be compared to determine whether the navigation data may be trusted or not. If untrusted, the autonomous navigation may be directed independently of the navigation data.
