Abstract
A method of generating composite image data using a first vehicle including a first camera and first network interface hardware and a second vehicle including a second camera and second network interface hardware includes establishing an external connection between the first vehicle and the second vehicle with the first network interface hardware and the second network interface hardware, generating a triggering event signal in the first vehicle in response to a triggering event, sending the triggering event signal to the second vehicle, capturing first image data using the first camera and capturing second image data using the second camera, and stitching the first image data and the second image data into composite image data.
