A sensor cleaning system for an autonomous vehicle includes at least one sensor configured to generate a sensor signal. At least one sensor lens may be positioned forward of the sensor. At least one reservoir for a fluid and at least one conduit fluidly coupled to the at least one reservoir and to at least one nozzle are configured to direct the fluid towards the sensor lens. At least one processor is communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor. A memory is operably coupled with the at least one processor, where the memory stores instructions that cause the at least one processor to perform operations including: receiving the sensor signal from the sensor; comparing a detected quality of the sensor signal relative to a nominal quality of the sensor signal; and, dispensing the fluid from the at least one reservoir through the nozzle towards the sensor lens.
