Aspects of the disclosure relate to determining perceptive range of a vehicle in real time. For instance, a static object defined in pre-stored map information may be identified. Sensor data generated by a sensor of the vehicle may be received. The sensor data may be processed to determine when the static object is first detected in an environment of the vehicle. A distance between the object and a location of the vehicle when the static object was first detected may be determined. This distance may correspond to a perceptive range of the vehicle with respect to the sensor. The vehicle may be controlled in an autonomous driving mode based on the distance.
