1. A method comprising:
collecting, using a sensor coupled to a vehicle, data about one or more objects within an environment of the vehicle;
identifying, based on the collected data, at least one candidate object from among the one or more objects, to be used as a proxy calibration target for other sensors coupled to vehicles within a fleet of vehicles; and
providing, by the vehicle, data about the candidate object for use by one or more vehicles within the fleet of vehicles.
