Abstract
A method for assessing an operator of a shared vehicle includes receiving a vehicle operator enrollment from a user, wherein the vehicle operator enrollment includes: (i) information identifying a vehicle operated by the user, and (ii) information identifying a shared vehicle. Further, the method includes retrieving condition data corresponding to the vehicle from a condition database, wherein a device inside the vehicle generates at least some of the condition data while the vehicle is being operated by the user, analyzing the condition data to determine a correlation between the user operating the vehicle and a change in a condition of the vehicle, wherein the condition of the vehicle relates to at least one of a quality or a value of the vehicle, and generating a report, wherein the report includes indications of the correlation between the user operating the vehicle and the change in the condition of the vehicle. In addition, the method includes communicating, via the computer network, the report to a remote computing device for presentation to a user.
