Detecting and responding to autonomous vehicle incidents and operating conditions

A computer system configured to detect and respond to an autonomous vehicle collision, the computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more transceivers adapted to communicate with a plurality of components associated with a plurality of autonomous operation features of the autonomous vehicle;
• and
• a non-transitory program memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer system to:
• identify an operating condition from collected operating data associated with a plurality of autonomous operation features of an autonomous vehicle, the operating condition indicative of a likelihood of an incident occurring during operation of the autonomous vehicle;
• determine that a collision has occurred based upon a portion of the collected operating data and additional operating data received from the one or more transceivers;
• and
• determine a response to the collision based upon the operating data and the additional operating data.

A computer-implemented method for detecting and responding to a vehicle collision, the method implemented by a computer system including one or more processors coupled to a non-transitory program memory, the method comprising:

• identifying, by the one or more processors, an operating condition from collected operating data associated with a plurality of autonomous operation features of an autonomous vehicle, the operating condition indicative of a likelihood of an incident occurring during operation of the autonomous vehicle;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that a collision has occurred based upon a portion of the collected operating data and additional operating data;
• and
• determining, by the one or more processors, a response to the collision based upon the operating data and the additional operating data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions, that when executed cause one or more processors to:

• identify an operating condition from collected operating data associated with a plurality of autonomous operation features of an autonomous vehicle, the operating condition indicative of a likelihood of an incident occurring during operation of the autonomous vehicle;
• determine that a collision has occurred based upon a portion of the collected operating data and additional operating data;
• and
• determine a response to the collision based upon the operating data and the additional operating data.
