Patent number: 12233803Abstract: Event-based connected vehicle control and response systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method comprises identifying the occurrence of an event, storing first data corresponding to apparatus operation for a first threshold amount of time prior to the event, during the occurrence of the event, and for a second threshold amount of time after the event, determining whether a responsive object is involved in or near the event, in response to determining that the responsive object is involved in or near the event, transmitting the first data to the responsive object, and receiving, from the responsive object, second data, analyzing the first data and the second data to determine a party at-fault for the event, aggregating the first data and second data into an event report, and causing, automatically, a response to be initiated through an entity associated with the party at-fault.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2023Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Surender Kumar, Clint J. Marlow, Timothy W. Gibson, Mark V. Slusar, Chris Wiklund
