Abstract
Techniques are described for determining and performing actions associated with a vehicle based on an analysis of sensor data that describes a state of component(s) of the vehicle. Sensor data is generated by sensor(s) on a vehicle and/or external to the vehicle. The sensor data is analyzed to determine a current state of vehicle component(s), such as whether a component is damaged or otherwise in need of repair or maintenance. The analysis of the sensor data may be performed by a rules engine that applies a set of rules indicating what action(s) are to be performed based on certain detected states of the vehicle component(s) indicated by the sensor data. The rule(s) may also indicate instances in which action(s) can be performed automatically or autonomously in response to detecting vehicle component state(s), or whether authorization is to be requested from an owner, operator, or other individual associated with the vehicle.
