1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a hardware-implemented server, primary data related to the transport from a primary device located in an interior of the transport;
receiving, by the hardware-implemented server, secondary data related to the transport from a plurality of secondary devices remote from the transport;
identifying, by the hardware-implemented server, an occurrence of an event associated with the transport based on the primary data and the secondary data;
identifying, by the hardware-implemented server, a severity of the event based on the primary data and on a consensus regarding the secondary data provided by a majority of the plurality of secondary devices being within a certain range corresponding to the severity of the event; and
sending, by the hardware-implemented server, a first notification to the primary device and a second notification containing content that is different than a content of the first notification to the plurality of secondary devices; and
sending, by the hardware-implemented server, an instruction to the transport to autonomously take an action based on the severity of the event.
