Methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure may use a plurality of force sensing devices that allow a computer of an autonomous vehicle (AV) to identify locations within the AV where particular objects reside. These force sensing devices may allow the AV computer to identify how much a particular object weights and identify whether an object has moved based on a location where a particular amount of weight currently resides versus a location where that weight previously resided in the AV. Weight information combined with other sensor data (e.g. camera or LIDAR data) may allow the AV computer to identify whether a particular object is a person or a package. The AV computer may also validate that certain driving rules are enforced, such that persons or packages are being moved safely and correctly in the AV.
