Sensor management systems for computer assisted or autonomous driving vehicles are disclosed herein. A computer assisted or autonomous driving vehicle may be provided with a plurality of sensors and a sensor management system configured to predictively maintain effectiveness of the plurality of sensors, based at least in part on predicted cleaning needs of the sensors, predicted obstruction or destruction events of the sensors, or predicted environmental or operating conditions. In embodiments, the sensor management system may be coupled to a navigation system of the vehicle, and may, in response to a predicted sensor obstruction or destruction event, change a navigation parameter of the vehicle to avoid the event. Alternatively, if the predicted event is determined to be within an acceptable risk tolerance threshold, the sensor management system may follow an original navigational route but implement event avoidance actions. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
