Publication number: 20230406329Abstract: The following relates generally to determining effectiveness of an update to a vehicle feature. In some embodiments, information indicating an update to a vehicle feature, and accident record information may be received. A first dataset from before the update was implemented in the vehicle, and a second dataset from after the update was implemented in the vehicle may then be constructed. An effectiveness score may then be calculated based upon the first and second datasets.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Jaime Skaggs, Jody Ann Thoele, Angela Glusick
