The subject technology is related to autonomous vehicles (AV) and, in particular, to calibrating multiple sensors of an AV in an undefined training area. An example method includes instructing the AV to pilot itself in an undefined training area subject to at least one constraint, wherein the AV is instructed to pilot itself along a path until the AV has overlapped at least a portion of the path, and at a location at which the AV has overlapped at least the portion of the path, determining that first returns from a previous LIDAR scan overlaps with second returns from a subsequent LIDAR scan taken when the AV has overlapped at least the portion of the path. Initially, the AV does not include a location reference to identify locations of objects in the undefined training area and a plurality of sensors of the AV are uncalibrated with respect to each other.
