Systems and methods for verification and resolution of vehicular accidents
First Claim
1. In a vehicle, a control system comprising:
- a matrix of conductive lines extending across at least a portion of the vehicle;
a sensor for sensing a deformation of the matrix; and
an indicator operable to indicate a deformation of the vehicle when the sensor senses a deformation of the matrix.

Abstract
Embodiments consistent with the invention provide a computer-implemented method for more accurately reporting vehicular accidents. The method comprises electronically receiving a first data from a plurality of sensors embedded within a vehicle, wherein the first data includes information regarding a location of a deformation created as a result of an accident involving the vehicle and electronically receiving a second data including information from police reports regarding the accident or from insurance claims submitted by parties involved in the accident. The method further comprises electronically comparing the first data with the second data and finding any discrepancies between the first data and second data and electronically reporting any discrepancies to an interested party.
