Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media for generating risk indicators are described. The disclosed technology includes determining a vehicle route of a vehicle and external object routes of external objects. The vehicle route is determined using vehicle route data including a vehicle location and a vehicle destination. The external object routes are determined using external object route data including external object locations and external object destinations. Based on a comparison of the vehicle route data and the external object route data, external object routes that satisfy a proximity criterion are determined. Risk data for the vehicle is generated based on a vehicle state of the vehicle and external object states of the external objects corresponding to the external object routes that satisfy the proximity criterion. In response to determining that the risk data satisfies a risk criterion, at least one risk indicator is generated.
