Abstract
A method for providing a post-event alert includes receiving sensor data, detecting, based on the sensor data, at least one vehicle event, and determining a severity value associated with the at least one vehicle event. The method also includes determining whether the severity value is greater than a severity threshold and, in response to a determination that the severity value is greater than the severity threshold, identifying at least one aspect of a vehicle that is potentially damaged. The method also includes determining a potential damage value associated with the at least one aspect of the vehicle that is potentially damaged, determining whether the potential damage value is greater than a potential damage threshold, and, in response to determining that the potential damage value is greater than the potential damage threshold, generating an alert indicating at least the at least one aspect of the vehicle that is potentially damaged.
