OPERATING A VEHICLE IN RESPONSE TO DETECTING A FAULTY SENSOR USING CALIBRATION PARAMETERS OF THE SENSOR

In an embodiment, a processor is configured to perform, while a vehicle is driving in an uncontrolled environment, a self-calibration routine for each sensor from the plurality of sensors to determine at least one calibration parameter value associated with that sensor. The processor is further configured to determine, while the vehicle is driving in the uncontrolled environment, and automatically in response to performing the self-calibration routine, that at least one sensor from the plurality of sensors has moved and/or is inoperative based on the at least one calibration parameter value associated with the at least one sensor being outside a predetermined acceptable range. The processor is further configured to perform, in response to determining that at least one sensor from the plurality of sensors has moved and/or is inoperative, at least one remedial action at the vehicle while the vehicle is driving in the uncontrolled environment.
