Extending a direct electrical universal serial bus (usb) type-c connection to vehicle diagnostic connections

A method for monitoring a vehicle, the method comprising:

• determining that an end device is operatively connected to an on-board diagnostics (OBD) port of the vehicle via a physical device,
• wherein the physical device comprises a cable, an OBD part, and a universal serial bus (USB) type C (USB-C) part,
• wherein the end device is operatively connected to the USB-C part via a USB-C port of the end device,
• wherein the USB-C part is operatively connected to the OBD part via the cable;
• identifying, in response to the determining, a protocol that needs to be implemented in order to communicate with a vehicle device of the vehicle to obtain vehicle related information (VRI) from the vehicle device via the physical device,
• wherein the protocol is identified without having prior knowledge about an environment that the end device is installed,
• wherein the end device is operatively connected to the vehicle device via the physical device without requiring an intermediate computing device or a printed circuit board (PCB) in between the end device and the vehicle device,
• wherein the OBD part is operatively connected to the vehicle device via an OBD port of the vehicle;
• retrieving, using the protocol, the VRI from the vehicle device via the physical device;
• processing, by employing a machine learning (ML) model, the VRI to obtain processed VRI,
• wherein the end device comprises only one PCB to retrieve and process the VRI;
• and
• transmitting, via a network device of the end device, the processed VRI to a client of a user that monitors the vehicle.
