Unexpected thermal event assist
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a thermal sensor; and
a connectivity device of a vehicle, in communication with the thermal sensor, configured toreceive an indication from the thermal sensor indicative of detection of a thermal event within a structure housing the vehicle,responsive to the detection, autonomously move the vehicle out of the structure away from the thermal event, andoperate as an information relay that provides status of the thermal event.

Abstract
A vehicle system may include a thermal sensor; and a connectivity device of a vehicle, in communication with the thermal sensor, configured to receive an indication from the thermal sensor indicative of detection of a thermal event within a structure housing the vehicle, responsive to the detection, autonomously move the vehicle out of the structure away from the thermal event, and operate as an information relay that provides status of the thermal event. A method may include activating a connectivity device of a vehicle responsive to detection of a thermal event external to the vehicle by a vehicle thermal sensor; confirming, by the connectivity device, the detection of the thermal event by utilizing other thermal sensor inputs of the vehicle; and responsive to the confirmation, commanding a vehicle system to autonomously move the vehicle out of a structure away from the thermal event.
