Abstract
An autonomous vehicle comprises a sensor, a plurality of paint dispensers, and one or more processors. The processors can be configured to collect, using the sensor, data regarding an environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle as the autonomous vehicle is moving on a surface; detect an event in the environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle from the collected data; determine an event type of the event based on the collected data; select a paint dispenser from the plurality of paint dispensers based on the determined event type; and automatically dispense paint from the selected paint dispenser onto the surface.
