1. A computer-implemented method implemented by one or more processors for assessing accident events, the computer-implemented method comprising:
accessing a first set of sensor data from a set of sensors associated with a first vehicle;
determining, by the one or more processors based on the first set of sensor data, that an accident event occurred; and
after determining that the accident event occurred:
sending, to an electronic device associated with a second vehicle, a request for a second set of sensor data from the electronic device associated with the second vehicle, the electronic device being within a connectable range of the first vehicle;
receiving, from the electronic device, the second set of sensor data, wherein the electronic device is configured to adjust operation according to the request;
analyzing, by the one or more processors, the second set of sensor data to determine that the second set of sensor data is related to the accident event; and
aggregating the first set of sensor data with the second set of sensor data.
