1. A computer-implemented method for maintaining components of vehicles having one or more autonomous operation features, comprising:
monitoring, by one or more processors, operating data regarding operation of the one or more autonomous operation features of the vehicle in controlling one or more aspects of operation of the vehicle;
accessing, by one or more processors, baseline data collected at a time when the components of the vehicle are known to be functioning properly and that is associated with proper functioning of the one or more autonomous operation features;
detecting, by one or more processors, a performance change of a component of the vehicle based upon the operating data and the baseline data:
determining, by one or more processors, a plurality of predictions of probabilities of a malfunction of the component at a corresponding plurality of future times; and
enforcing, by one or more processors, usage restrictions associated with at least one of the autonomous operation features based upon the predictions of probabilities of the malfunction of the component, comprising enforcing a first of the usage restrictions when a first time of the plurality of future times is reached and a second of the usage restrictions when a second time of the plurality of future times is reached.
