Abstract
Energy consumption for a vehicle may be reduced based at least in part on an environment characteristic associated with the environment through which the vehicle travels or an operation characteristic associated with operation of the vehicle, thereby increasing an operational time of the vehicle. In some situations, reducing energy consumption may be associated with operation of one or more of a sensor (e.g., turning the sensor off, reducing a frequency or resolution of the sensor, etc.) and/or one or more processors associated with the vehicle (e.g., turning a processor off, reducing a rate of computation, etc.) based at least in part on one or more of the environment characteristic signal or the operation characteristic signal.
