Abstract

Event-based and subscription-based connected vehicle control and response systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method comprises receiving first data acquired by a first plurality of vehicle operation sensors of a first vehicle from a first computing device associated with a first subscriber, identifying an occurrence of an event involving a second vehicle and a third vehicle based on the first data, receiving second data acquired by a second plurality of vehicle operation sensors of the second vehicle, identifying which vehicle of the second vehicle or the third vehicle is at-fault based on the first data and the second data, determining, for the first subscriber and responsive to determining that the first data was used in determining which of the first vehicle or the second vehicle is at-fault, one or more objects, and transmitting the one or more objects to the first computing device.
