Embodiments are disclosed for providing full and redundant sensor coverage for an environment surrounding a vehicle. An example vehicle includes a plurality of first cameras and a plurality of second cameras. The first cameras are associated with a first field-of-view (FOV) having a first horizontal aspect, and the second cameras are associated with a second FOV having a second horizontal aspect. The first cameras and the second cameras are located at different angular locations on the vehicle along a horizontal plane. Horizontal aspects of two FOVs of any two consecutive cameras located along the horizontal plane overlap in the horizontal plane by at least a predetermined degree. Another example vehicle includes a controller for controlling autonomous driving operation of the vehicle and a sensor network that includes at least six sensors. Directional beams corresponding to the sensors cover a surrounding region of the vehicle relevant to the autonomous driving operation.
