Abstract
An event/object reporting system is provided using data from sensors of a smart vehicle, which events/objects are observed by the smart vehicle but do not involve the smart vehicle. For this purpose, a computer-implemented method includes collecting, by the computer device, sensor data from at least one sensor on the smart vehicle regarding events/objects external to the smart vehicle, analyzing, by the computer device, the sensor data to detect whether a predetermined event and/or object external to the smart vehicle is found in the sensor data, and transmitting, by the computer device, portions of the sensor data pertaining to the predetermined event and/or object to an external server based on the detecting.
