Method And System For Detecting An Incident , Accident And/Or Scam Of A Vehicle

A system for collecting and storing vehicle sensor data of a vehicle in order to detect an incident, accident and/or scam, the system comprising:

• at least one sensing system, wherein the at least one sensing system comprises a camera sensing system comprising a camera or a plurality of cameras of the vehicle,
• at least one processing unit and memory unit for continuously collecting and storing a first set of vehicle sensor data from the at least one sensing system for a preceding first pre-definable time period at least when the vehicle is in motion and/or when a door or trunk of the vehicle is open, and
• at least one processing unit and memory unit for collecting and storing a second set of vehicle sensor data from the at least one sensing system for a coming second pre-definable time period when at least one of the following occurs:
• the vehicle is brought to standstill,
• the door or trunk of the vehicle is being closed, or
• the vehicle drives away from standstill after being parked,
• wherein the camera or the plurality of cameras is/are configured to be activated when it is detected that an object or another vehicle is approaching the vehicle.
