1. A system comprising:
at least one server comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
a processing device operatively coupled to the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a first autonomous vehicle (AV), a first set of raw event observation data characterizing an event observed by the first AV at a first point in time, the event reflecting a scenario within a driving environment;
upon identifying a second AV within a vicinity of the event observed by the first AV, generating, based on the first set of event observation data, a second set of processed event observation data characterizing the event observed by the first AV; and
sending, to the second AV, the second set of processed event observation data, characterizing the event observed by the first AV, to cause an AV control system of the second AV to generate, using the second set of processed event observation data, an optimal route for the second AV with respect to the event observed by the first AV.
