1. A system for generating, from outside a target vehicle, a notification about a risk of the target vehicle toppling over due to wind, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory in communication with the one or more processors, the memory including:
an environment characteristic determination module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to determine a wind force of the wind at a location of the target vehicle;
a vehicle characteristic determination module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to determine one or more characteristics of the target vehicle;
a risk determination module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
determine whether there is a risk of the target vehicle toppling over based on the wind force of the wind and the one or more characteristics of the target vehicle; and
determine an impact that the toppling of the target vehicle may have on one or more surrounding vehicles;
and
a notification module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to generate a notification about the risk.
