Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
in response to obtaining information regarding a potential collision between a vehicle and an object:
obtaining, for a time period extending before and after a time of the potential collision, data describing the vehicle during the time period;
determining, based at least in part on the data describing the vehicle during the time period, a likelihood that the potential collision is a non-collision event;
in response to determining that the likelihood indicates that the potential collision is not a non-collision event:
triggering one or more actions responding to the potential collision; and

obtaining additional data describing the vehicle during a second time period from before and to after the potential collision, and wherein determining, based at least in part on the data describing the vehicle during the time period, the likelihood that the potential collision is a non-collision event further comprises:
analyzing the additional data to determine whether a behavior of a driver does not match any behavior prone to causing a collision; and
in response to determining that the behavior of the driver does not match any behavior prone to causing a collision, determining that the potential collision is a non-collision event.
