AI summary

The present invention provides a robust and effective solution to an entity or an organization for creating and standardizing an Automotive Data Quality Marker (ADQM) to determine/evaluate/predict the quality of automotive data such as Telematics, Body Control, ADAS, Diagnostics, Dashcams, and In-Vehicle Infotainment but not limited to the like generated by the vehicle (i.e., data source) using a machine learning (ML) engine associated with a processing unit. The machine learning engine comprises an amalgamation of machine learning algorithms to determine ADQM for a particular dataset. Data pertaining to vehicles is huge and repetitive. Re-training of the model for improved accuracy is a requirement as automotive data can be augmented with additional signals and data received and stored as trip objects on a regular basis.
