Claim 13:
14. A vehicle comprising:
a first system of a first sensor modality comprising impact sensors configured to generate first data associated with the vehicle;
a second system of a second sensor modality comprising audio sensors configured to generate second data associated with the vehicle;
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 the first data;
determining, based at least in part on the first data, a first estimated location of impact, the first estimated location of impact being expressed in a first spatial grid characterized by a first cell size;
receiving the second data;
determining, based at least in part on the second data, a second estimated location of impact, the second estimated location of impact being expressed in a second spatial grid characterized by a second cell size larger than the first cell size;
determining, based at least in part on the first estimated location corresponding to the second estimated location, an impact event associated with the vehicle; and
controlling the vehicle based at least in part on the impact event.
