1. A synchronization system, comprising:
a memory communicably coupled to a processor and storing:
a synchronization module including instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
detect a stop of a vehicle according to buffered data acquired from two or more sensors that are each associated with computing devices;
identify motion from the stop according to the buffered data and corresponding timestamps for the buffered data from the two or more sensors, wherein the buffered data and the corresponding timestamps are generated internally to the two or more sensors;
synchronize the two or more sensors according to the corresponding timestamps, a position from visual odometry (VO) data, and changed degrees of the buffered data without external controls from the computing devices; and
control the motion of the vehicle using the two or more sensors.
