An example operation includes providing by a first electronic control unit (ECU) a fixed private key of a vehicle to a server; generating by the first ECU a limited life certificate based on the fixed private key, wherein the first ECU acts as a certificate authority; and providing the limited life certificate to a second ECU within the vehicle to allow the second ECU to securely communicate with the server.

Internal certificate authority for electronic control unit

An example operation includes one or more of identifying a dangerous driving situation, capturing first media by a vehicle involved in the dangerous driving situation, establishing a geofence based on a distance associated with the dangerous driving situation, and capturing second media by one or more other vehicles within the geofence.

Transport dangerous driving reporting

An example operation includes one or more of receiving at a server at least one of a component calibration file and a component configuration file from a vehicle, receiving at the server a file signature of the at least one of the component calibration file and the component configuration file from the vehicle, parsing via the server the at least one of the component calibration file and the component configuration file based on the file signature and verifying via the server the at least one of the component calibration file and the component configuration file based on the file signature.

Secure signed file upload

An example operation includes one or more of incrementing an epoch value related to a transport event, transmitting the incremented epoch value to at least one component on the transport, receiving an odometer reading comprising the epoch value and comparing the epoch value of the odometer reading and the incremented epoch value to determine whether the odometer reading is valid.

Odometer fraud detection via data storage on components

An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a computer associated with a transport, a gait of an individual from at least one sensor associated with the transport, validating, by the computer, the gait when the gait has corresponding frequency occurrence statistics above a predetermined gait threshold, responsive to the validating, providing, by the computer, access to the transport by the individual, receiving, by the computer, a sequence of gestures of the individual from at the at least one sensor, wherein the sequence of gestures corresponds to a function, validating, by the computer, the sequence of gestures, and responsive to the validating, performing, by the computer, the function responsive to the sequence of gestures being recognized as a known match with a pattern stored in memory.

Transport gait and gesture interpretation

An example operation includes one or more of sending data from a component on a transport to at least one other component on the transport in at least one location on a bus, comparing the data at the at least one other component to a threshold, and sending a notification, by the at least one other component, to a processor when the data is outside the threshold.

Transport component authentication

An example operation includes one or more of associating a vehicle with an impact, saving media captured before and after the impact as a media segment, transmitting, by a computing device associated with the vehicle, the media segment to another computing device, and building a sound profile from the media segment.

Transport sound profile

An example operation includes one or more of detecting, by a transport, a difference between sensor data associated with a location outside the transport and data stored on the transport and updating, by the transport, the data stored on the transport with the difference.

Transport sensor data update

An example operation includes one or more of determining a data communication module (DCM) in a vehicle is unable to send a message, routing the message from the DCM to a device detachably connected to the vehicle, and sending, by the device detachably connected to the vehicle, the routed message to a device external to the vehicle.

Vehicle DCM routing management

An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a transport, a potential impact with an object at a location in a lane on a road and, when a distance away from the location exists within the lane, maneuvering, by the transport, the distance within the lane to avoid the potential impact.

Transport-related object avoidance

An example operation includes one or more of determining a sensor on a transport is not functioning properly, determining a severity of the malfunction, responsive to the severity exceeding a threshold, lowering an autonomous level of the transport, and responsive to the severity continuing to exceed the threshold, limiting an operation of the transport based on an intended output of the malfunctioning sensor.

Transport limitations from malfunctioning sensors

An example operation includes one or more of detecting, by a component in a transport, that another component has been removed, detecting, by the component, that a replacement component has been added in the transport, providing, by the component, data to the replacement component, wherein the data attempts to subvert an authorized functionality of the replacement component, and responsive to a non-subversion of the authorized functionality, permitting, by the component, use of the authorized functionality of the replacement component.

Authorizing functionality of a transport component

An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a transport, first data from a first device, wherein the first device is affixed to the transport, receiving, by the transport, second data from a second device, wherein the second device is detachably attached to the transport and wherein the first data and the second data constitute a same unit of measure, and displaying, by the transport, a value based on the first data and the second data.

Processing data from attached and affixed devices on transport

An example operation includes one or more of determining a reaction by at least one occupant of a transport, related to a most relevant data of the transport, and sending a notification of the reaction and the data to a display associated with the at least one occupant, when the reaction is greater than a threshold.
