Methods and systems for assessing, detecting, and responding to malfunctions involving components of autonomous vehicle and/or smart homes are described herein. Autonomous operation features and related components can be assessed using direct or indirect data regarding operation. Such assessment may be performed to determine the condition of components for salvage following a collision or other loss-event. To this end, the information regarding a plurality of components may be received. A component of the plurality of components may be identified for assessment. Assessment may including causing test signals to be sent to the identified component. In response to the test signal, one or more responses may be received. The received response may be compared to an expected response to determine whether the identified component is salvageable.

1. A computer-implemented method of assessing salvage potential for an autonomous vehicle following damage to the autonomous vehicle, comprising: receiving, at one or more processors, information regarding a plurality of components associated with autonomous operation features of the autonomous vehicle;identifying, by one or more processors, one or more components of the plurality of components to assess, wherein the one or more components include one or more sensors;generating, by one or more processors, one or more test signals to be sent to the identified one or more components;applying, by one or more processors, the one or more test signals to the identified one or more components;detecting, at one or more processors, one or more responses from the one or more components in response to the one or more test signals;obtaining, by one or more processors, one or more expected responses from the one or more components based upon the received information; anddetermining, by one or more processors, whether each of the one or more components is salvageable based upon a comparison between the detected responses and the expected responses. 2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein determining whether a component of the one or more components is salvageable includes: comparing, by one or more processors, a detected response from the one or more responses that is associated with the component against an expected response from the one or more responses that is associated with the component, anddetermining, by one or more processors, the component is salvageable if the response is within a range including the expected response and indicative of proper functioning of the component. 3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein determining whether a component of the one or more components is salvageable includes determining whether the component is damaged. 4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein: at least one of the responses from the one or more components is an implied response based upon an absence of a signal from at least one of the one or more components;the at least one of the one or more components is determined to be damaged based upon the implied response; andthe at least one of the one or more components is determined not to be salvageable based upon the determination that the at least one of the one or more components is damaged. 5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are disposed within a computing device communicatively connected to an on-board computer of the autonomous vehicle. 6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the computing device is a special-purpose computing device and is communicatively connected to the on-board computer via an on-board communication port. 7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the computing device is a mobile computing device and is communicatively connected to the on-board computer via a wireless connection. 8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are disposed within an on-board computer configured to operate the autonomous vehicle. 9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, wherein the on-board computer is controlled to assess the salvage potential by a special-purpose computing device communicatively connected to the on-board computer via a data port of the autonomous vehicle. 10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, at one or more processors, operating data associated with operation of the autonomous vehicle at a time associated with the damage to the autonomous vehicle; anddetermining, by one or more processors, a preliminary assessment of the salvage potential for the autonomous vehicle based upon the received operating data,wherein the one or more components of the plurality of components are identified based upon the determined preliminary assessment. 11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: determining, by one or more processors, an estimated level of damage associated with one or more additional components based upon the detected responses and the expected responses from the one or more components, wherein the one or more additional components are vehicle components of the autonomous vehicle that are not sensors or autonomous operation features; anddetermining, by one or more processors, whether each of the one or more additional components is salvageable based upon the estimated level of damage associated with the one or more additional components. 12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11, wherein determining the estimated level of damage associated with the one or more additional components includes determining a damaged area of the autonomous vehicle. 13. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: determining, by one or more processors, whether the autonomous vehicle is a total loss based upon the determination regarding whether each of the one or more components is salvageable. 14. A computer system configured to assess salvage potential for an autonomous vehicle following damage to the autonomous vehicle, comprising: one or more processors;one or more transceivers adapted to communicate with a plurality of components associated with autonomous operation features of the autonomous vehicle; anda non-transitory program memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer system to: receive information regarding the plurality of components associated with autonomous operation features of the autonomous vehicle;identify one or more components of the plurality of components to assess, wherein the one or more components include one or more sensors;generate one or more test signals to be sent to the identified one or more components;apply the one or more test signals to the identified one or more components;detect one or more responses from the one or more components in response to the one or more test signals;obtain one or more expected responses from the one or more components based upon the received information; anddetermine whether each of the one or more components is salvageable based upon a comparison between the detected responses and the expected responses. 15. The computer system of claim 14, wherein to determine whether a component of the one or more components is salvageable, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the computer system to: compare a detected response from the one or more responses that is associated with the component against an expected response from the one or more responses that is associated with the component, anddetermine the component is salvageable if the response is within a range including the expected response and indicative of proper functioning of the component. 16. The computer system of claim 14, wherein: at least one of the responses from the one or more components is an implied response based upon an absence of a signal from at least one of the one or more components;the at least one of the one or more components is determined to be damaged based upon the implied response; andthe at least one of the one or more components is determined not to be salvageable based upon the determination that the at least one of the one or more components is damaged. 17. The computer system of claim 14, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the computer system to: determine an estimated level of damage associated with one or more additional components based upon the detected responses and the expected responses from the one or more components, wherein the one or more additional components are vehicle components of the autonomous vehicle that are not sensors or autonomous operation features; anddetermine whether each of the one or more additional components is salvageable based upon the estimated level of damage associated with the one or more additional components. 18.
