Assessing risk using vehicle environment information
First Claim
1. A method of determining an insurance rating for an insurance policy associated with a first vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a communication interface of the first vehicle and from a second vehicle via one or more wireless signals, vehicle sensor data collected by a camera device, a radar device, a lidar device, or a sonar device that is (i) located on or in the second vehicle and (ii) configured to sense an environment external to the second vehicle; and
receiving, at an electronic processing system comprising a memory and one or more processors, the vehicle sensor data that was received at the communication interface of the first vehicle;
storing the vehicle sensor data in the memory;
determining a set of one or more characteristics of the environment external to the second vehicle by processing, via the one or more processors, the stored vehicle sensor data;
determining, via the one or more processors and based on the set of one or more characteristics of the environment external to the second vehicle, a risk indicator; and
determining, via the one or more processors and based on the risk indicator, the insurance rating for the insurance policy associated with the first vehicle.

Abstract
A method includes receiving vehicle sensor data from a second vehicle via one or more wireless signals. The vehicle sensor data is collected by a sensor that is located on or in the second vehicle and configured to sense an environment external to the second vehicle. The vehicle sensor data is received at an electronic processing system, and stored in a memory. A set of one or more characteristics of the environment external to the first vehicle is determined by processing the stored vehicle sensor data, and a risk indicator is determined based on the set of one or more characteristics, a risk indicator. An insurance rating for an insurance policy associated with the first vehicle is determined based on the risk indicator.

7. A system for determining an insurance rating for an insurance policy associated with a first vehicle, the system comprising:
-
an onboard system of a first vehicle comprising a communication interface configured to receive, from a second vehicle via one or more wireless signals, vehicle sensor data collected by a camera device, a radar device, a lidar device, or a sonar device that is (i) located on or in the second vehicle and (ii) configured to sense an environment external to the second vehicle; and an electronic processing system comprising a memory and one or more processors, and configured to receive the vehicle sensor data that was received at the communication interface of the first vehicle, store the vehicle sensor data in the memory, determine a set of one or more characteristics of the environment external to the second vehicle by processing, via the one or more processors, the stored vehicle sensor data, determine, via the one or more processors and based on the set of one or more characteristics of the environment external to the second vehicle, a risk indicator, and determine, via the one or more processors and based on the risk indicator, the insurance rating for the insurance policy associated with the first vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method of determining an insurance rating for an insurance policy associated with a first vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a communication interface of the first vehicle and from a second vehicle via one or more wireless signals, vehicle sensor data collected by a camera device, a radar device, a lidar device, or a sonar device that is (i) located on or in the second vehicle and (ii) configured to sense an environment external to the second vehicle; determining a set of one or more characteristics of the environment external to the second vehicle by processing, via one or more processors of an onboard system of the first vehicle, the vehicle sensor data; determining, via the one or more processors of the onboard system and based on the set of one or more characteristics of the environment external to the second vehicle, a risk indicator; receiving, at an electronic processing system, the risk indicator; and determining, by one or more processors of the electronic processing system, the insurance rating based on the risk indicator for the insurance policy associated with the first vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
