1. An autonomous vehicle (AV) comprising:
a vehicle body; and
a vehicle computing device comprising a processor in communication with a memory device, the processor configured to:
identify a time and a geographic location of a traffic collision involving the AV;
retrieve map data and contextual data associated with the time and the geographic location of the traffic collision;
retrieve vehicle telematics data collected by sensors coupled to the vehicle body;
receive speech data from a witness of the traffic collision;
determine, based upon the retrieved vehicle telematics data and the received speech data, for each of a plurality of moments in time during the traffic collision, a position and an orientation of the AV during the traffic collision;
generate a simulation of the traffic collision including a representation of the AV based upon the map data, the contextual data, and the determined position and orientation of the AV for each of the plurality of moments in time; and
provide content to enable display of the simulation on a display device.
