Abstract
An autonomic vehicle control system includes a vehicle spatial monitoring system including a plurality of spatial sensors disposed to monitor a spatial environment proximal to the autonomous vehicle. A controller is in communication with the spatial sensors of the vehicle spatial monitoring system, and the controller includes a processor and a memory device including an instruction set. The instruction set is executable to generate a perception result associated with a static field of view for each of the spatial sensors, wherein each of the spatial sensors is positioned at an analogous orientation to generate the respective perception result associated with the static field of view. The perception results from the plurality of spatial sensors are compared to detect a fault associated with one of the spatial sensors.
