Automated vehicle actions, and associated systems and methods

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations for automating vehicle actions, the operations comprising:

• interfacing with a vehicle sensor network of a vehicle to obtain vehicle condition data;
• translating the vehicle condition data into identified conditions, wherein the translating comprises:
• identifying a vehicle condition using the vehicle sensor network, wherein the vehicle condition comprises:
• the vehicle being on the road, being below the specified speed, not being in traffic, and not being at a stop signal, wherein not being in traffic and not being at a stop signal are identified based on a determined location of the vehicle and traffic data obtained for the determined location from a network source external to the vehicle;
• identifying weather conditions for an environment of the vehicle;
• identifying a component functioning state for components of the vehicle;
• and
• extracting values from the vehicle condition data, performing various analyses on the vehicle condition data, and identifying conditions from network data or other external source data in the vehicle condition data;
• causing the vehicle to take actions specified by mappings, wherein each particular mapping, of the mappings, is selected based on a match between the identified conditions and a key from the particular mapping, and wherein each particular mapping maps (A) the key for the particular mapping to (B) action for the particular mapping;
• wherein the mappings are:
• a second mapping of (A) a second key for a particular vehicle condition of the vehicle being on the road, being below the specified speed, not being in traffic, and not being at a stop signal to (B) an action for emergency lights, comprising automatically enabling the emergency lights or providing a notification to a driver to enable the emergency lights;
• a third mapping of (A) a third key for the vehicle being in a particular weather condition to (B) an action;
• and
• a fourth mapping of (A) a fourth key for a failure condition in specified components of the vehicle to (B) an action;
• wherein the actions comprise:
• automatically enabling, disabling, or controlling a vehicle system to affect vehicle movement, wherein the vehicle system comprises brakes, anti-lock braking systems, steering, windshield wipers, seat position configurations, mirror position configurations, automated driving modes, and the automated driving modes comprise sport mode, eco mode and poor weather mode;
• wherein the vehicle sensor network comprises:
• component functionality sensors, pressure sensors, contact sensors, laser emitters, reflection detectors, weather sensors, speed sensors, acceleration sensors, steering wheel position, tire direction sensors, and transceivers for network connections.

A system for automating vehicle actions of a vehicle, the system comprising:

• a vehicle sensor network that provides vehicle condition data;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• translating the vehicle condition data into identified conditions, wherein the translating comprises:
• identifying a vehicle condition using the vehicle sensor network, wherein the vehicle condition comprises:
• the vehicle being on the road, being below the specified speed, not being in traffic, and not being at a stop signal, wherein not being in traffic and not being at a stop signal are identified based on a determined location of the vehicle and traffic data obtained for the determined location from a network source external to the vehicle;
• identifying weather conditions for an environment of the vehicle;
• identifying a component functioning state for components of the vehicle;
• and
• extracting values from the vehicle condition data, performing various analyses on the vehicle condition data, and identifying conditions from network data or other external source data in the vehicle condition data;
• causing the vehicle to take actions specified by mappings, wherein each particular mapping, of the mappings, is selected based on a match between the identified conditions and a key from the particular mapping, and wherein each particular mapping maps (A) the key for the particular mapping to (B) action for the particular mapping;
• wherein the mappings are:
• a second mapping of (A) a second key for a particular vehicle condition of the vehicle being on the road, being below the specified speed, not being in traffic, and not being at a stop signal to (B) an action for emergency lights, comprising automatically enabling the emergency lights or providing a notification to a driver to enable the emergency lights;
• a third mapping of (A) a third key for the vehicle being in a particular weather condition to (B) an action;
• and
• a fourth mapping of (A) a fourth key for a failure condition in specified components of the vehicle to (B) an action;
• wherein the actions comprise:
• automatically enabling, disabling, or controlling a vehicle system to affect vehicle movement, wherein the vehicle system comprises brakes, anti-lock braking systems, steering, windshield wipers, seat position configurations, mirror position configurations, automated driving modes, and the automated driving modes comprise sport mode, eco mode and poor weather mode;
