A method of updating a clock associated with an autonomous vehicle includes determining, at a processor, a sensor-based position of the autonomous vehicle. The sensor-based position is determined based on data from one or more sensors and based on a digital map accessible to the processor. The method also includes determining, at the processor, a global positioning system (GPS) computed position of the autonomous vehicle and a GPS time. The GPS computed position and the GPS time are determined based on a plurality of GPS signals received from GPS satellites. The method further includes comparing the sensor-based position to the GPS computed position to determine whether the sensor-based position is within a threshold distance from the GPS computed position. The method also includes updating the clock associated with the autonomous vehicle based on the GPS time in response to a determination that the sensor-based position is within the threshold distance from the GPS computed position.
