Abstract

A vehicle may determine that erratic vehicle behavior has been sensed, based on comparison of a sensed vehicle behavioral characteristic at a given location compared to a predefined expected value of the characteristic. The vehicle may further determine whether an environmental anomaly has been detected in association with the given location and classify the sensed erratic behavior based on whether the environmental anomaly was detected. Responsive to classifying the behavior as erratic based on determining no environmental anomaly was detected, the vehicle may report the erratic behavior to a remote server, along with the given location. The remote server may receive a plurality of such reports for a given location and update a classification of the behavior based on data indicated in the plurality of reports.
