Automated Vehicle Incident Evidence Schema

Preserve the incident identity, date and time, location, vehicle, system and version, automation state, operator and driver roles, ODD conditions, road and weather, parties, injuries and damage, initial notice, police record, operator filing, regulator filing, report versions, vehicle and infrastructure data, video and telemetry custody, witness accounts, allegations, agency findings, recalls or orders, company response, litigation state, corrective action, unresolved facts, source restrictions, and revision history.

An initial filing can be incomplete, revised, redacted, duplicated, or contested. A reported fact is not automatically an investigative finding. A finding does not automatically decide civil liability, coverage, or damages.
