1. A system comprising:
a camera mounted on a first vehicle, wherein the camera is configured to collect image data, and to adjust a field of view of the camera, wherein the field of view can be adjusted to provide at least a first field of view and a second field of view, and wherein the first field of view is narrower than the second field of view;
at least one processing device; and
memory containing instructions configured to instruct the at least one processing device to:
determine whether the first vehicle is traveling faster than a predetermined speed;
