1. A method for detecting a hazardous vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting a second vehicle based on information received from at least one sensor of a first vehicle;
determining whether the second vehicle presents a hazard based on a weighted average determined from a dynamic weighted time scale of the information received from the at least one sensor of the first vehicle, the information including information corresponding to a lane position of a second vehicle, information corresponding to a speed and a braking of a second vehicle, information corresponding to a vigilance of a second vehicle, and information corresponding to a performance of a driver of a second vehicle; and
transmitting a notification alerting of the second vehicle if it is determined that the second vehicle presents a hazard.

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions executable by a processor to perform a method for detecting a hazardous vehicle, the method comprising:
-
detecting a second vehicle based on information received from at least one sensor of a first vehicle; detecting identification information of the second vehicle; determining whether the second vehicle presents a hazard based on a weighted average determined from a dynamic weighted time scale of the information received from the at least one sensor of the first vehicle, the information including information corresponding to a lane position of a second vehicle, information corresponding to a speed and a braking of a second vehicle, information corresponding to a vigilance of a second vehicle, and information corresponding to a performance of a driver of a second vehicle; and transmitting a notification alerting of the second vehicle if it is determined that the second vehicle presents a hazard, the notification including identification information of the second vehicle.
