Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed with respect to using a blockchain for managing the subrogation claim process related to a vehicle accident, in particular, utilizing a vehicle's mode of operation as part of the subrogation process. An exemplary embodiment includes receiving sensor data; determining that a vehicle collision occurred based upon, at least in part, analysis of the sensor data, such as image, audio, telematics, or autonomous vehicle system data; determining an operational mode for the vehicle based upon, at least in part, analysis of the sensor data, and the operational mode at the time of the accident; determining a percentage of fault for a driver or autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle system, or lack thereof, based upon the sensor data, and whom or which autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle system was in control of the vehicle at the time of the vehicle collision.
