Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
one or more sensors;
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to perform:
when a vehicle is in an inactive status, obtaining first data from first sensors associated with the vehicle, and from one or more second sensors associated with a different vehicle, wherein the first sensors comprise a first portion of sensors associated with the vehicle that are active when the vehicle is in the inactive status, the sensors comprising a Lidar, an ultrasonic sensor, a radar sensor, a camera, a global positioning system (GPS), and an inertial measurement unit (IMU);
comparing the obtained first data from the first sensors with reference data;
determining whether one or more first characteristics of the obtained first data deviate from corresponding characteristics of the reference data by more than respective first thresholds;
in response to determining that one or more characteristics of the data obtained deviate from corresponding characteristics of the reference data by more than respective first thresholds:
activating a second portion of the sensors that were previously inactive on the vehicle when the vehicle is in the inactive status;
increasing a sampling rate of the first sensors; and
obtaining second data from the second portion of the sensors and the first sensors:

determining whether to evacuate a vehicle based on amounts by which second characteristics of the second data deviate from the corresponding characteristics of the reference data; and
in response to determining to evacuate the vehicle:
determining a mode of evacuation of the vehicle and determining an evacuation location from evacuation locations; and
evacuating the vehicle based on the determined mode and the evacuation location.
