Described herein are methods and systems for automatically operating autonomous vehicles to accomplish a coverage task by receiving a plurality of task parameters defining a coverage task in a certain geographical area, calculating and outputting instructions for operating first autonomous vehicle(s) to cover the certain geographical area according to a first movement path computed according to operational parameters of the first autonomous vehicle with respect to the task parameters, identifying uncovered segment(s) in the certain geographical area by analyzing coverage of the certain geographical, and calculating and outputting instructions for operating second autonomous vehicle(s) to cover the uncovered segment(s) according to a second movement path computed according to operational parameters of the second autonomous vehicle. The first autonomous vehicle(s) and the second autonomous vehicle(s) are selected to optimally accomplish the coverage task. The second autonomous vehicle having increased coverage precision and reduced coverage rate compared to the first autonomous vehicle.
