Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. An autonomous vehicle comprising:
electromechanical sensors;
audio sensors;
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from the electromechanical sensors, electromechanical sensor data indicative of a first impact associated with the autonomous vehicle;
determining, based at least in part on the electromechanical sensor data, a first location of the first impact expressed at a first spatial granularity;
receiving, from the audio sensors, audio sensor data indicative of a second impact associated with the autonomous vehicle;
determining, based at least in part on the audio sensor data, a second location of the second impact expressed at a second spatial granularity coarser than the first spatial granularity;
determining, based at least in part on the first location corresponding to the second location, an impact event associated with the autonomous vehicle; and
controlling the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the impact event.
