1. A system for sensor data fusion for sensor management and utilization in autonomous transportation, comprising:
at least one computer processor including a memory;
at least one curation engine, at least one link engine, at least one fusion engine, at least one inference engine, and at least one validation engine;
at least one first distance sensor operable to capture a first distance measurement from a vehicle to at least one object; and
at least one second distance sensor operable to capture a second distance measurement from the vehicle to the at least one object;
wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to analyze the first distance measurement and the second distance measurement;
wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to receive at least one query;
wherein the at least one curation engine is operable to curate the first distance measurement and the second distance measurement, the at least one link engine is operable to link the first distance measurement and the second distance measurement, the at least one fusion engine is operable to fuse the first distance measurement and the second distance measurement, the at least one inference engine is operable to determine at least one inference from the first distance measurement and the second distance measurement, and the at least one validation engine is operable to validate the first distance measurement and the second distance measurement;
wherein the at least one inference engine is operable to determine a second inference;
wherein the at least one validation engine is operable to use artificial intelligence to compare the at least one inference to the second inference;
wherein the at least one validation engine validates the at least one inference when the comparison between the at least one inference and the second inference exceeds a predefined threshold; and
wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to instruct the vehicle to move based on the at least one inference being validated.
