System and method for performing interventions in cars using communicated automotive information
First Claim
1. A real-time intervention system for analyzing information in a vehicle relating to dangerous conditions, comprising:
- a feature collection system that identifies features on both a current vehicle and at least one nearby vehicle, and stores the features, wherein at least one of the features is indentified based on input from a communication system of the at least one nearby vehicle;
an events manager that defines a criteria which constitutes a dangerous condition for each of a set of features, and further determines what intervention should take place in response to a dangerous condition; and
an information processing system that compares sensor inputs to the criteria to determine if a dangerous condition currently exists.

8. A computer program product stored on a computer useable medium, which when executed, processes information in a vehicle regarding dangerous conditions, the computer program product comprising:
-
program code configured for identifying features on both a current vehicle and nearby vehicles, and for storing the features, wherein at least one of the features is indentified based on input from a communication system of the at least one nearby vehicle; program code configured for providing a criteria regarding what constitutes a dangerous condition for each of a set of features, and further determines what intervention should take place in response to a dangerous condition; and program code configured for comparing sensor inputs to the criteria to determine if a dangerous condition currently exists. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of performing interventions in a vehicle based on dangerous conditions, comprising:
-
identifying features on both a current vehicle and at least one nearby vehicle, wherein at least one of the features is indentified based on input from a communication system of the at least one nearby vehicle; storing the features in a features table; implementing an events table having criteria regarding what constitutes a dangerous condition for each of a set of features, and further determines what intervention should take place in response to a dangerous condition; comparing sensor inputs to criteria in the events table to determine if a dangerous condition currently exists; and initiating an intervention in the event a dangerous condition currently exists. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
