Abstract
The subject technology is related to autonomous vehicles (AV) and, in particular, to calibration of an sensors of an AV on open roads after calibrating the sensors in an undefined training area. An example method includes calibrating a plurality of sensors of the AV based on performing a plurality of training steps of increasing complexity within the undefined environment, wherein the plurality of sensors of the AV are uncalibrated with respect to each other, determining that the AV satisfies an open road requirement to navigate an open road based on completing the plurality of training steps in the undefined environment, and operating the AV on open roads subject to at least one constraint. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one constraint comprises a list of prohibited maneuvers that limit operation of the AV on open roads. The constraints are configured to dynamically change.
