This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems that can implement auction-based cooperative perception for autonomous and semi-autonomous driving systems. The described techniques, apparatuses, and systems cooperatively use perception systems of an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle (AV) in a fleet of connected AVs to provide perception data to the entire fleet. An AV of the fleet is selected to act as an auction system (e.g., an auctioneer) and sends an announcement offering perception tasks to the fleet for bidding. The AVs of the fleet determine whether they have the communication and computational capabilities to perform the tasks and, if so, submit bids to perform one or more tasks. The auctioneer awards the tasks, and the bid-winning AV(s) perform the tasks and update the fleet. In this way, the described techniques, apparatuses, and systems can provide perception services with increased coverage and quality, which can make autonomous and semi-autonomous driving systems safer.
