A modular rack assembly for autonomous vehicles, and an autonomous vehicle having said modular rack assembly. The modular rack assembly includes a rail configured for placement onto a vehicle, e.g., a roof and/or near a front windshield. The rail has at least one sensor (radar, LiDAR, camera) mounted thereon. Connector(s) are provided on the rail to connect to one or more corresponding couplings on the vehicle. The connectors are communicatively tied to the sensor(s) for sending and receiving communication via the couplings when connected thereto. Also included is a controller that connects to a computer within the vehicle to communicate with the computer and the sensor(s). Connection of the rail to the couplings establishes communication between the controller and the computer, such that the controller is configured to send and receive signals to and from the computer and to and from the sensor(s) for controlling operation and driving of the autonomous vehicle.
