Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable storage media are provided for autonomously reporting road conditions. The apparatus can be operated by using one or more sensors by a detecting vehicle to detect a road condition. A computer can then identify the road condition using a component and generating a road condition information. The computer can then determine an effect of the road condition on other vehicles and determine a subset of the other vehicles that will be affected by the road condition. The computer can then transmit the road condition information such that the road condition information is receivable by the subset of other vehicles.
