1. An alert system configured for use with a vehicle, the alert system comprising:
at least one sensor;
a network interface;
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the alert system to perform a set of operations comprising:
detecting, via the at least one sensor, a living being inside the vehicle;
measuring, via the at least one sensor, an environmental feature inside the vehicle; and
based at least on the detection of the living being and the measured environmental feature, determining an alert condition inside the vehicle, wherein determining the alert condition inside the vehicle comprises determining that the detection of the living being and the measured environmental feature do not correspond to an anticipated operational state of the vehicle, wherein the anticipated operational state of the vehicle comprises one or more previously determined operational states of a second vehicle with one or more attributes in common with the vehicle.
