One variation of a method for autonomous navigation includes, at an autonomous vehicle: recording a first image via a first sensor and a second image via a second sensor during a scan cycle; calculating a first field of view of the first sensor and a second field of view of the second sensor during the scan cycle based on surfaces represented in the first and second images; characterizing a spatial redundancy between the first sensor and the second sensor based on an overlap of the first and second fields of view; in response to the spatial redundancy remaining below a threshold redundancy, disabling execution of a first navigational action—action informed by presence of external objects within a first region of a scene around the autonomous vehicle spanning the overlap—by the autonomous vehicle; and autonomously executing navigational actions, excluding the first navigational action, following the scan cycle.
