Systems and methods for automatically documenting an accident
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to perform operations for documenting an accident, the operations comprising:
- receiving data from a collision detection device of a vehicle;
determining, based on the received data, that an accident is impending or occurring involving the vehicle;
generating a request for a nearby vehicle to;
illuminate a region associated with the accident and actively acquire data related to the accident; and
record actively acquired data related to the accident; and
transmitting the request to the nearby vehicle.

Abstract
A system for documenting an accident includes a vehicle that includes a transceiver device and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to receive data from a collision detection device of the vehicle, determine, based on the received data, that an accident is impending or occurring involving the vehicle, generate a request for a nearby vehicle, and transmit, via the transceiver device, the request to the nearby vehicle. The request is for the nearby vehicle to illuminate a region associated with the accident, actively acquire data related to the accident, and record actively acquired data related to the accident.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to perform operations for documenting an accident, the operations comprising:
-
illuminating and actively detecting a nearby vehicle using a collision detection device of a vehicle, wherein the collision detection device comprises at least one of a radar device and a lidar device; receiving data from the collision detection device of the vehicle; analyzing the received data to detect an impending or occurring accident, wherein the accident involves the nearby vehicle; determining accident related data in response to the detected accident, wherein the accident related data is based on the received data; storing the accident related data in a storage device; and delivering the accident related data to the nearby vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to perform operations for documenting an accident, the operations comprising:
-
receiving data from a nearby vehicle detection device of a vehicle, wherein the data includes data related to a nearby vehicle; receiving data from a collision detection device of the vehicle; determining that based on the received data from the collision detection device an accident is impending or occurring involving the vehicle; analyzing the received data from the nearby vehicle detection device to detect an ID of the nearby vehicle; and storing the detected ID in a storage device. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
