1. A system, comprising a first vehicle computer comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the computer is configured to:
- collect first data from two or more first vehicle data collectors to measure one or more of a second vehicle'"'"'s speed acceleration, braking, turning and distance from other vehicles, wherein the first vehicle data collectors include one or more of a radar, a lidar, sonar, and an image capture device;
use the first collected data to determine whether the second vehicle is being operated fully autonomously and, if not fully autonomously, partially autonomously;
determine to autonomously operate the first vehicle based at least in part on determining that the second vehicle is being operated at least partially autonomously;
collect second data from the first vehicle sensors relating to the second vehicle; and
autonomously operate the first vehicle based at least in part on the second collected data by controlling at least first vehicle speed and steering.

Abstract
A computer in a first vehicle is configured to receive data relating to a second vehicle. The computer may use the data to determine that the second vehicle is being operated at least partially autonomously. Further, the computer may cause the first vehicle to take an action to autonomously operate the first vehicle based at least in part on determining that the second vehicle is being operated at least partially autonomously.

19. A computer-readable medium having tangibly embodied thereon instructions executable by a computer processor, the instructions including instructions to:
-
collect first data from two or more first vehicle data collectors to measure one or more of a second vehicle'"'"'s speed acceleration, braking, turning and distance from other vehicles, wherein the first vehicle data collectors include one or more of a radar, a lidar, sonar, and an image capture device; use the first collected data to determine whether the second vehicle is being operated fully autonomously and, if not fully autonomously, partially autonomously; determine to autonomously operate the first vehicle based at least in part on determining that the second vehicle is being operated at least partially autonomously; collect second data from the first vehicle sensors relating to the second vehicle; and
autonomously operate the first vehicle based at least in part on the second collected data by controlling at least first vehicle speed and steering. - View Dependent Claims (20)
