1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • determining, by a computer device, a value of an operating condition of a component of a vehicle;

    obtaining, by the computer device, a comparison value for the operating condition from a same type component on at least one other vehicle, wherein the obtaining the comparison value comprises the computer device receiving a data packet via radio communication from the at least one other vehicle;

    comparing, by the computer device, the determined value to the comparison value;

    determining, by the computer device and based on the comparing, whether the determined value deviates from the comparison value by more than a threshold amount; and

    generating an alert in the vehicle based on the determining the determined value deviates from the comparison value by more than the threshold amount,wherein the data packet comprises plural data packets including plural values of the operating condition detected in the at least one other vehicle at different times;

    the computer device ranks the plural values of the operating condition; and

    the comparison value is an average of the plural values of the operating condition, the average being a weighted average based on the ranks of the plural values of the operating condition.
