Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for requesting maintenance assistance from a user, the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive data captured by a sensor of an autonomous vehicle (AV), the sensor having a field of view;
detect, based on the data captured by the sensor, that at least a portion of the field of view of the sensor is obscured;
generate a visual representation of the field of view of the sensor, the visual representation showing the obscuring of the at least a portion of the field of view, the visual representation generated in response to detecting that at least the portion of the field of view is obscured;
generate an instruction for the user of the AV, the instruction instructing the user to remove material obscuring the sensor as indicated in the visual representation;
generate an updated visual representation of the field of view of the sensor, the updated visual representation based on additional data captured by the sensor;
request the user indicate, based on the updated visual representation of the field of view of the sensor, whether the sensor is no longer obscured; and
receive, from the user, an indication that the sensor is no longer obscured.
