1. A computer system configured to use emergency response system (EMS) vehicle telematics data to reduce accident risk, the computer system comprising:

  • at least one of one or more processors or one or more transceivers, the at least one of the one or more processors or the one or more transceivers located on or within an autonomous vehicle, the at least one of the one or more processors or the one or more transceivers configured to;

    receive, at the autonomous vehicle via wireless communication or data transmission, the EMS vehicle telematics data associated with an EMS vehicle, the EMS vehicle telematics data including location data and at least one of acceleration data or deceleration data;

    determine, at the autonomous vehicle based upon the EMS vehicle telematics data, whether a current route of the autonomous vehicle will interfere with a route of the EMS vehicle to an emergency location;

    determine, at the autonomous vehicle based upon a relevance of the EMS vehicle, an alternate route for the autonomous vehicle to take to avoid interfering with the route of the EMS vehicle to the emergency location, the relevance of the EMS vehicle being based upon whether the current route of the autonomous vehicle will interfere with the route of the EMS vehicle to the emergency location;

    direct, based upon the relevance of the EMS vehicle, the autonomous vehicle to one of (1) travel along the alternate route, or (2) pull over to a side of a road on the current route of the autonomous vehicle to allow the EMS vehicle to pass the autonomous vehicle; and

    cause an insurance provider remote server to at least one of display, adjust, or generate an insurance discount associated with the autonomous vehicle based upon the autonomous vehicle including risk mitigation or prevention functionality associated with (1) receiving the EMS vehicle telematics data, and (2) directing corrective actions based upon the relevance of the EMS vehicle, so as to incentivize the insured customer to facilitate avoidance of collisions and safe travel for the EMS vehicle.
