Abstract
A vehicle, method, and machine-readable storage medium for detecting a vehicle accident are provided. For example, the method includes accessing an accident profile associated with a second vehicle by a first vehicle, wherein the accident profile contains data indicating vehicle operating parameters during a prior vehicle accident; collecting current vehicle operating parameters from the first vehicle and the second vehicle, the current vehicle operating parameters being collected in real time; based on a comparison between the current vehicle operating parameters and the accident profile associated with the second vehicle, determining a probability of the future vehicle accident; determining a preventive action responsive to the probability of the future vehicle accident occurring; and when the probability of the future vehicle accident occurring exceeds a probability threshold, implementing the preventive action by controlling one or more of the operational systems of the first vehicle to change at least one of the current vehicle operating parameters.
