Abstract
A computer implemented apparatus, and computer usable program code for automatically obtaining vehicle data. In one advantageous embodiment a computer implemented method monitors a vehicle for events over a wireless interface. In response to receiving an event sent over the wireless interface by the vehicle, a determination is made whether vehicle data is needed for the event based on a policy. A request for the vehicle data is sent over the wireless interface to the vehicle in response to a determination that vehicle data is needed. The vehicle data is stored in response to receiving the vehicle data over the wireless interface from the vehicle. The vehicle data stored after receiving the vehicle data from the vehicle is analyzed to form an analysis. A set of fault conditions may be identified using the analysis.
