Abstract

Technologies and techniques for requesting, analyzing and transmitting data from driver assistance systems (DAS) on a vehicle to an external user. Sensors of the vehicle's DAS determine DAS data, and save the DAS data and summary in a vehicle-side swarm data aggregator. The summary of the DAS data may be transmitted to a swarm memory of an external backend computer, and an analysis device analyzes the summary of the DAS data. The analysis device requests the DAS data saved in the swarm data aggregator if the analysis of the summary shows that relevant DAS data is present in the swarm data aggregator. The DAS data is transmitted from the swarm data aggregator on the vehicle to the swarm memory of the backend computer on the basis of the request. The DAS data may then be transferred from the swarm memory to the external user for further use.
