A sensor failure detection system receives sensor data from sensors associated with an autonomous vehicle. For evaluating a first sensor, the system compares the first sensor data captured by the first sensor to each of map data and other sensor data captured by other sensors. If it is determined that the first sensor fails to detect object(s) that are confirmed to be on the road by the map data and the other sensor data, the system determines that the first sensor fails to detect the object(s) and is not reliable. In response, the system may determine whether the autonomous vehicle can be navigated safely without relying on the first sensor. If it is determined that the autonomous vehicle can be navigated safely without relying on the first sensor, the system may continue autonomous navigation of the autonomous vehicle.
