Claim 0:
1. A vehicle comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
identifying a trigger for calibrating at least one sensor at a first location; and
in response to identifying the trigger, initiating a calibration path planning mode comprising:
generating a plurality of calibration-aware paths from the first location to a second location along at least one road, wherein a respective calibration-aware path comprises at least one calibration trajectory along the at least one road;
scoring each of the calibration-aware paths at least based on the number of calibration targets along a path, or the number of calibration trajectories along the path;
selecting, from the plurality of calibration-aware paths, a first calibration-aware path for the vehicle based on scores and one or more discounts or rewards provided to a passenger; and
causing the vehicle to travel along the first calibration-aware path, wherein the at least one sensor is calibrated while the vehicle travels along the first calibration-aware path.
