Vehicle logs, system-status records, driver inputs, warning messages, diagnostic information, and other available electronic evidence can help establish which driving function or mode was engaged at relevant points in time. The analysis may also examine transitions between automated functions and human control rather than assuming the system operated in one mode throughout the event. The type and amount of recorded information available can vary by vehicle and system.
Relevant evidence can include available sensor or perception-system data, event logs, software and firmware information, calibration records, diagnostic codes, driver commands, system alerts, service history, and other available vehicle data. An expert can compare these sources to help develop a technical timeline of how the vehicle and its automated systems responded. The information preserved or accessible varies by vehicle, manufacturer, and system.
Automated-driving systems may use cameras, radar, lidar, or other sensing technologies to obtain information about the vehicle's surroundings, while automated functions may use available inputs to influence steering, braking, acceleration, or other vehicle responses. An expert can compare available sensor data or evidence concerning sensor operation with system-status records, control commands, calibration data, and other evidence to evaluate how the relevant subsystems interacted and identify areas requiring closer technical examination.
Electric propulsion becomes relevant when the allegations involve power delivery, battery condition, charging, electronic controls, loss of propulsion, or interactions between the electric drivetrain and automated vehicle functions. When the dispute concerns only automated-driving behavior, broader electric-vehicle analysis may not be necessary.
