Abstract
A method is provided for cooperative malfunction detection between an observer vehicle and an observed vehicle. The method includes requesting, by the observed vehicle, a report of observed malfunctions of the observed vehicle from the observer vehicle via a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication system. The observer vehicle detects and captures sensor data of the observed vehicle by the observer vehicle. Then, in one embodiment, the observer vehicle transmits the captured sensor data to the observed vehicle using the V2V communication system. The observed vehicle runs a malfunction detection function on the captured sensor data and generates a report summarizing the malfunction. Alternatively, the observer vehicle generates the report and transmits it to the observed vehicle. The driver of the observed vehicle is notified of the report. In another embodiment, a data processing system is provided for performing the method in the observer vehicle or the observed vehicle.
