Methods and systems for obtaining information about a portion of an environment of an autonomous vehicle are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system comprises a sensor configured to sense information about an environment of in a field of view of the sensor, an additional sensor, and a processor in a vehicle configured to (i) analyze the sensed information from the sensor to detect a plurality of obstacles in the environment of the vehicle, (ii) determine that the field of view of the sensor is obscured by at least one detected obstacle, thereby inhibiting the sensor to sense information about a portion of the environment of the vehicle, and (iii) responsive to determining by the processor that the field of view of the sensor is obscured, obtain, by the processor, information from the additional sensor, wherein the additional sensor is able to sense information about the portion of the environment.
