Exterior camera services for vehicle-sharing fleet

A system comprising:

• a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a nontransitory computer-readable medium, wherein the instructions include:
• obtaining sensor data from at least one sensor of a subject vehicle;
• determining whether the sensor data indicates one of (i) a first vehicle has contacted the subject vehicle and (ii) the first vehicle is located within a threshold distance of the subject vehicle;
• in response to one of (i) the first vehicle contacting the subject vehicle and (ii) the first vehicle being located within the threshold distance, selectively activating at least one camera of the subject vehicle;
• obtaining image data of the first vehicle from the at least one camera;
• and
• transmitting, using the processor, the image data to a remote computing system;
• wherein the remote computing system is configured to:
• generate a cleanliness score of the first vehicle based on the image data;
• and
• in response to the cleanliness score being greater than a threshold value, generate an alert that is configured to indicate that the first vehicle needs to be cleaned.

A method comprising:

• obtaining, using a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a nontransitory computer-readable medium, sensor data from at least one sensor of a subject vehicle;
• determining, using the processor, whether the sensor data indicates one of (i) a first vehicle has contacted the subject vehicle and (ii) the first vehicle is located within a threshold distance of the subject vehicle;
• selectively activating, using the processor and in response to one of (i) the first vehicle contacting the subject vehicle and (ii) the first vehicle being located within the threshold distance, at least one camera of the subject vehicle;
• obtaining, using the processor, image data of the first vehicle from the at least one camera;
• transmitting, using the processor, the image data to a remote computing system;
• obtaining, using the processor, a location of a user;
• selectively activating, using the processor and in response to the user being located within a second threshold distance of the subject vehicle, at least one camera of the subject vehicle;
• obtaining, using the processor, image data associated with an exterior of the vehicle from the at least one camera;
• and
• activating, using the processor and in response to the image data indicating that the user is approaching the subject vehicle, an engine of the subject vehicle.
