1. A method, comprising:
identifying, by a first vehicle, a discrepancy indicative of a threshold difference between first environmental information representative of a physical environment generated by a first sensor of the first vehicle and second environmental information representative of the physical environment generated by a second sensor of a second vehicle concurrently with the first sensor; and
in response to identifying the discrepancy, activating, by the first vehicle, a secure sensor of the first vehicle to generate third environmental information representative of the physical environment to determine whether the discrepancy accurately describes the physical environment for navigation of the first vehicle.
