1. A system configured to use a distributed data center to query a fleet of vehicles, the system configured to couple with the fleet of vehicles, wherein the fleet includes a first vehicle, the system comprising:
a remote storage server including one or more particular processors, wherein the remote storage server is separate and discrete from the fleet of vehicles, wherein the remote storage server is configured to electronically store information, wherein the information is received from the fleet of vehicles, wherein the information includes vehicle-specific information that is based on output signals generated by vehicle-specific sensors, wherein the output signals convey vehicle-specific operation information related to operation of individual vehicles; and
a remote computing server including one or more processors, wherein the remote computing server is separate and discrete from the fleet of vehicles, and wherein the one or more processors are configured via machine-readable instructions to:
obtain, at the remote computing server, executable code from a user, wherein the executable code includes one or more function calls to a standardized Application Program Interface (API), wherein the one or more function calls operate on the vehicle-specific operation information, related to the operation of the individual vehicles, that has previously been stored at the remote storage server, and wherein the executable code includes a definition of one or more of (i) a particular vehicle event, (ii) a particular maneuver of a vehicle, and/or (iii) a particular condition of a vehicle operator of a vehicle; and
transmit the executable code to the remote storage server for execution;
wherein the one or more particular processors of the remote storage server are further configured to:
receive the executable code from the remote computing server,
subsequent to receipt of the executable code from the remote computing server, execute the received executable code to produce a first result, wherein the first result is based on the vehicle-specific operation information that has previously been stored at the remote storage server;
transfer information based on the first result to the remote computing server; and
wherein the one or more processors of the remote computing server are further configured to:
obtain the first result; and
facilitate a presentation based on the first result to the user.
