Abstract
An autonomous vehicle includes vehicle sensors that detect driving conditions and a communication interface communicatively coupled with a driving condition database via a communication network. The driving condition database stores vehicle sensor information indicative of first driving conditions and mobile device sensor information indicative of second driving conditions. Additionally, in response to a connection rating determination logic determining that a connection rating between the communication interface and the communication network below a threshold, a controller of the autonomous vehicle gathers, processes, and stores the vehicle sensor information and the mobile device sensor information for subsequent communication to the driving condition database and operates the autonomous vehicle based on the vehicle sensor information and the mobile device sensor information.
