Abstract
Example embodiments relate to vehicle sensor modules with external audio receivers. An example sensor module may include sensors and can be coupled to a vehicle's roof with a first microphone positioned proximate to the front of the sensor module. The sensor module can also include a second microphone extending into a first side of the sensor module such that the second microphone is configured to detect audio originating from an environment located relative to a first side of the vehicle and a third microphone extending into a second side of the sensor module such that the third microphone is configured to detect audio originating from the environment located relative to a second side of the vehicle, wherein the second side is opposite of the first side.
