Patent attributes
A vehicle monitoring system includes a central processor operable to receive data from multiple vehicles, with each of the multiple vehicles being equipped with a plurality of vision sensors, a plurality of non-vision sensors, and an ECU. The central processor is operable to wirelessly receive, from each of the multiple vehicles, vehicle data and environment data. Responsive to vehicle data and environment data received from the multiple vehicles, the central processor determines if one or more of the vehicles is at or approaching a hazardous condition. Responsive to the determination that one or more of the vehicles is a threatened vehicle at a potentially hazardous condition, the central monitoring system at least one of (i) actuates an alert of the threatened vehicle to alert a driver of that vehicle of the determined hazardous condition and (ii) controls a vehicle system of the threatened vehicle to mitigate the determined hazardous condition.
