AI summary

One or more driving analysis computing devices in a driving analysis system may be configured to analyze driving data, determine driving behaviors, and calculate driver scores based on driving data transmitted using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. Driving data from multiple vehicles may be collected by vehicle sensors or other vehicle-based systems, transmitted using V2V communications, and then analyzed and compared to determine various driving behaviors by the drivers of the vehicles. Driver scores may be calculated or adjusted based on the determined driving behaviors of vehicle drivers, and also may be calculated or adjusted based on other the driver scores of nearby vehicles.
