Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for selectively collecting vehicle sensor data in response to a vehicle crash detection, which can conserve computing resources. A backend server system can perform the techniques to evaluate the severity of a potential crash or for another purpose. As one example, the backend server system can receive an indication of a potential crash of a vehicle from a user device executing a first model. In response, the backend server system can transmit a request for vehicle sensor data to a third-party server. The backend server system can receive the vehicle sensor data from the third party server. The vehicle sensor data can be obtained from the vehicle for a time range preceding the potential crash, thereby conserving computing resources. The backend server system can then determine a severity of the potential crash by executing a second model on the vehicle sensor data.
