1. A method of operating a sensor interface for a first sensor apparatus of an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:

  • dividing a clock cycle of a local clock signal into a plurality of timing intervals, wherein the number of timing intervals is based at least in part on a framerate or resolution of a second sensor apparatus;

    generating a plurality of sensor pulses based at least in part on framerates or resolutions of each of a plurality of sensors of the first sensor apparatus, wherein each of the plurality of sensor pulses are aligned with a respective one of the timing intervals;

    receiving sensor data from the first sensor apparatus; and

    formatting the sensor data based at least in part on the plurality of sensor pulses to enable the sensor data to be used for navigating the autonomous vehicle.
