1. A vehicle interface system for accessing data in real time from an onboard diagnostics system through a vehicle interface and a vehicle communications bus and transmitting the data to an application processor running an application primary process, comprising:
- a vehicle interface processor;
a processor data interconnect system capable of transferring data between the vehicle interface processor and the application processor;
a vehicle communications bus electrical connection system operatively connected to the vehicle interface and capable of transferring diagnostic data between the vehicle interface processor and the onboard diagnostics system;
vehicle interface software running on the vehicle interface processor; and
an application data collection process running on the application processor using spare cycles not used by the application primary process, where the application data collection process communicates with the vehicle interface software using the processor data interconnect system.
