dynamically determining a size of a radius of an area proximate a vehicle to be used to search for objects based on at least one of geospatial positioning system (GPS) data of the vehicle and road condition data of a road of the vehicle;
capturing, by the vehicle, sensor data from the area proximate the vehicle with one or more sensors of the vehicle based on the dynamically determined size of the radius of the area proximate the vehicle;
determining, by the vehicle, an event is going to occur in the area proximate the vehicle at a future time based on changes in distance between the vehicle and an object identified from the sensor data;
activating one or more additional sensors of the vehicle in response to determining that the event is going to occur at the future time, prior to the event occurring;
capturing additional sensor data of the event as it occurs via the one or more additional sensors which have been activated; and
sending, by the vehicle, the additional sensor data of the event to a server.
