Method, apparatus, and system for assessing safety and comfort systems of a vehicle

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
• aggregate operational data associated with a vehicle from a plurality of data sources;
• process the operational data against operational criteria to determine a normal operational status or an abnormal operational status of the vehicle;
• generate an independent assessment of a safety condition of the vehicle based on the normal operational status or the abnormal operational status, wherein the independent assessment is performed independently of an assessment system of the vehicle, a manufacturer of the vehicle, or a combination thereof;
• in response to a request by a user to use the vehicle, provide data indicating the safety condition in a user interface of a device associated with the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform:

• aggregating operational data associated with a vehicle from a plurality of data sources;
• processing the operational data against operational criteria to determine a normal operational status or an abnormal operational status of the vehicle;
• generating an independent assessment of a safety condition of the vehicle based on the normal operational status or the abnormal operational status, wherein the independent assessment is performed independently of an assessment system of the vehicle, a manufacturer of the vehicle, or a combination thereof;
• in response to a request by a user to use the vehicle, providing data indicating the safety condition in a user interface of a device associated with the user.
