Dash cam with artificial intelligence safety event detection

A vehicle device comprising:

• an enclosure configured for attachment within a motor vehicle, the enclosure housing at least:
• a plurality of sensors configured to provide sensor data, the plurality of sensors including at least:
• an outward-facing camera positioned to obtain images of an area in front of the vehicle;
• and
• an inward-facing camera positioned to obtain images of an interior of the vehicle, including a driver area where a driver of the vehicle is positioned when operating the vehicle;
• a speaker configured to provide audible signals within the vehicle;
• a hardware computer processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium having software instructions stored thereon, the software instructions executable by the hardware computer processor to cause the vehicle device to perform operations comprising:
• accessing, in real-time as images are acquired by the outward-facing camera, images of the area in front of the vehicle;
• detecting, based at least on application of an event detection model comprising one or more neural networks to at least portions of the accessed images, features within the one or more accessed images;
• evaluating, for each of a plurality of safety event types, a corresponding plurality of safety event criteria configured to identify respective safety events;
• triggering a first safety event in response to determining that the detected features match a first safety event criteria associated with a distracted driver safety event type;
• in response to triggering the first safety event, causing an audible alert to play on the speaker;
• accessing an asset data structure including associations between safety event types and respective asset data, wherein a first asset data associated with a first safety event type is different than a second asset data associated with a second safety event type;
• selecting and transmitting the first asset data to an event management system;
• receiving a request for additional sensor data from the event management system, the requested additional sensor data including asset data from one or more of the sensors, wherein the event management system determines the additional sensor data to request from the vehicle device based at least on analysis of the first asset data;
• and
• generating and transmitting to the event management system the requested additional sensor data.
