Abstract

In some implementations, a method of verifying operation of a sensor is provided. The method includes causing a sensor to obtain sensor data at a first time, wherein the sensor obtains the sensor data by emitting waves towards a detector. The method also includes determining that the detector has detected the waves at a second time. The method further includes receiving the sensor data from the sensor at a third time. The method further includes verifying operation of the sensor based on at least one of the first time, the second time, or the third time.
