1. A method of performing cargo evaluation for a vehicle configured to operate in an autonomous driving mode, the method comprising:
evaluating, by one or more processors, information regarding at least one of a cargo arrangement or cargo securement of cargo on the vehicle configured to be operated in the autonomous driving mode, to determine whether the cargo arrangement or the cargo securement falls within a target threshold, the evaluating including generating a confidence value of whether the cargo is properly secured;
in response to the cargo arrangement or the cargo securement not falling within the target threshold based on the confidence value, determining by the one or more processors whether to make a specific adjustment to a securement mechanism of the vehicle; and
in response to the cargo arrangement or the cargo securement falling within the target threshold based on the confidence value, generating, by the one or more processors, a baseline cargo profile for use during a trip to be performed by the vehicle when operating in the autonomous driving mode.
