A redundant sensor fabric in an autonomous vehicle may include receiving, by a processing unit, sensor data from a first sensor of a plurality of sensors associated with a same sensing space of the autonomous vehicle; detecting a fault associated with the first sensor; establishing, via a switched fabric, a communications path between the processing unit and a second sensor of the plurality of sensors; and receiving, by the processing unit, sensor data from the second sensor instead of the first sensor.
