Abstract
A vehicle computing device has a data storage medium and a processing device programmed to execute instructions stored on the data storage medium. The instructions include detecting an emergency vehicle near an autonomous host vehicle, receiving operational data from nearby vehicles, and transmitting the operational data to the emergency vehicle. The operational data indicates whether one or more of the nearby vehicles is operating in an autonomous mode.
