Abstract
An interaction detection and analysis (“IDA”) computing device for analyzing data from a plurality of autonomous vehicles (“AVs”) relative to an individual AV that identifies potential performance outcomes and risks based on interactions associated with software onboard the AVs may be provided. The IDA computing device may include at least one processor programmed to (i) receive AV data from the individual AV including a software ecosystem and hardware installed on the individual AV, (ii) store the received AV data in a data record in a database, (iii) compare the software ecosystem and the hardware for the individual AV to data associated with AVs having relatively similar software ecosystems and hardware, (iv) identify at least one known performance outcome and risk based on the data from the AVs having relatively similar software ecosystems and hardware, and (v) alert a user of the individual AV of the identified performance outcome and risk.
