Abstract

A cloud storage backend for managing data of in-vehicle sensing modules is disclosed, which is advantageous for use in the context of a shared vehicle service, such as a car rental service, an autonomous taxi service, or a ride sharing service. The in-vehicle sensing modules are configured to monitor a status of the vehicle and utilize appropriate algorithms, models, or thresholds to interpret sensor data and enrich the data with metadata and event detection. The cloud storage backend receives relevant sensor data, event data, or other metadata from the in-vehicle sensing modules and stores the data in a database which is made accessible by authorized third-parties.
