An automobile monitoring arrangement tracks and records automobile operation for post-use automobile operation analysis and in a manner with default-operation modes that facilitate use by automobile owners/supervisors and by those supervised by the automobile owners/supervisors. In one specific embodiment, sounds from the vehicle are monitored while the vehicle is in operation. A sound type is identified as corresponding to the sounds, and a sound level of the sound types are determined. The sound level is compared to a threshold for the sound type, and a vehicle supervisor is notified when the sound level exceeds the sound level threshold for the sound type.

A vehicle inspection device includes an inspection processing section and a communication processing section. The inspection processing section includes an inspection control section that generates a first communication request or a second communication request based on an inspection program, a communication request transmission buffer that stores the first communication request, and a transmission buffer for high-speed communication that stores the second communication request. The communication processing section transmits the first communication request to an ECU to be inspected and transmits the second communication request to an ECU on which writing is to be performed.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support enhanced vehicle digital twin operations. In a first aspect, an apparatus for wireless communication at a vehicle includes one or more sensors, at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to cause the apparatus to associate changes in operations of the vehicle with changes in in-vehicle network (IVN) performance and electronic control unit (ECU) performance to generate association data. The at least one processor is further configured to cause the apparatus to provide the association data to a digital twin associated with the vehicle, and the association data is configured to cause the digital twin to model performance of the vehicle and generate modified operating parameters. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
