摘要： The present disclosure provides systems and methods for determining a noise level associated with an autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle can include a passenger compartment configured to house one or more passengers. A method can include positioning one or more microphones at one or more locations in the passenger compartment, collecting first data indicative of a first sound level by the one or more microphones with the autonomous vehicle operating at a first operating condition, implementing an operating condition change for the autonomous vehicle from the first operating condition to a second operating condition, collecting second data indicative of a second sound level by the one or more microphones, and determining a noise level associated with the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the first data and the second data.

摘要： The present disclosure provides a sensor cleaning system that cleans one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle. Each sensor can have one or more corresponding sensor cleaning units that are configured to clean such sensor using a fluid (e.g., a gas or a liquid). Thus, the sensor cleaning system can include both a gas cleaning system and a liquid cleaning system. According to one aspect, the sensor cleaning system can provide individualized cleaning of the autonomous vehicle sensors. According to another aspect, a liquid cleaning system can be pressurized or otherwise powered by the gas cleaning system or other gas system.
