Detecting of automatic driving

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by a computer system, heuristic rules that define a likelihood of an automatic driving feature having been engaged as a function of sequential vehicle performance;
• providing sequential vehicle operation data related to a trip made by a vehicle that has the automatic driving feature, the sequential vehicle operation data including an indication of operation of the vehicle during a sequence of time intervals of the trip, and the sequential vehicle operation data not including an explicit indication of whether the automatic driving feature was engaged during any time intervals of the sequence of time intervals;
• and
• generating, by the computer system, automatic driving information for the vehicle by evaluating the sequential vehicle operation data against the heuristic rules, the automatic driving information providing an indication of whether the automatic driving feature was engaged during a subset of the time intervals;
• and
• wherein:
• the sequential vehicle operation data includes primary operation data that includes received primary operation data received from sensors within the vehicle that detect physical operation of the vehicle;
• and
• the primary operation data includes at least one of:
• a detected speed of the vehicle, a detected heading of the vehicle, or a detected power consumption of the vehicle.
