Abstract: A policy file may be received at a vehicle outfitted with a plurality of sensors, the policy file governing a policy for capturing and uploading sensor data from at least one of the plurality of sensors characterizing a driving event of the vehicle. An over the air (OTA) update of a policy manager installed at the vehicle may be executed to install the policy file, the policy manager being configured to analyze the sensor data to detect and capture a subset of the sensor data related to the driving event, based on the policy file. The subset of the sensor data may be recorded in an event file, and the event file may be uploaded to the external network, based on the policy file. Consequently, it is possible to identify, transmit, and analyze driving events, while continuing to use sensor data for autonomous driving and control of a vehicle.

Abstract: Described systems and techniques enable anonymous collection of sensor data related to vehicle driving events of a vehicle. A start event of the vehicle may be detected, and an anonymous name may be generated, based on the start event. A subset of the sensor data related to a start-specific event of the vehicle may be extracted. The subset of the sensor data may be stored in an event file for the start-specific event that is designated using the anonymous name, and the event file may be uploaded from the vehicle to an external network.

Abstract: Sensor data may be received from a plurality of sensors installed on a vehicle and characterizing driving conditions of the vehicle. The sensor data may be continuously stored in a ring buffer implemented using a random access memory (RAM). A recording trigger to record event data related to a driving event of the vehicle may be received. A subset of sensor data may be extracted from the ring buffer, based on the recording trigger. The subset of the sensor data may be recorded in an event file in a second memory.
