Methods and systems for vehicle damage detection, identification and communication are disclosed. Specifically, a method to detect damage to a vehicle, identify the extent and location of the damage, and communicate the damage event is provided. In the event of damage to a vehicle, the system may take a number of actions. In one embodiment, the actions comprise notifying authorized users of the vehicle, a maintenance provider, an insurance provider and/or an emergency agency, disabling the vehicle, and emitting a visual or audio alarm.

1. A method, comprising: receiving sensor data from one or more vehicle sensors;determining, from the sensor data, whether vehicle damage has occurred to a particular area of the vehicle;selecting, when vehicle damage has occurred to the particular area of the vehicle, non-vehicle sensors and at least one of the one or more vehicle sensors in an area surrounding the particular area;recording, by the selected non-vehicle sensors and the at least one of the one or more vehicle sensors, vehicle damage data corresponding to the vehicle damage that has occurred; andstoring the vehicle damage data in a user profile memory associated with a user of the vehicle. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising comparing the sensor data to vehicle damage threshold data. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein vehicle damage occurs if one or more vehicle damage thresholds are exceeded. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein prior to storing the vehicle damage data, the method comprises: determining, based on the sensor data received, that a damage hazard is in proximity to the vehicle; andstoring hazard data associated with the damage hazard in the user profile associated with the user of the vehicle. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more vehicle sensors comprise an image sensor, a motion sensor, a vibration sensor and a force sensor, and wherein the non-vehicle sensors include one or more sensors associated with a mobile communications device of the user. 6. The method of claim 4, further comprising: determining, based at least partially on the hazard data and the vehicle damage data, a potential cause of the vehicle damage. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing an alert comprising a visual alert, an audio alert, emergency responder alert, and alert to one or more authorized users. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a notice to a mobile communication device associated with an owner of the vehicle in real-time when the vehicle damage occurs. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising identifying at least one of the location of the damage and the degree of the damage. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein both the location of the damage and the degree of the damage are identified and both are communicated to a third party. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising: sending, to a communication device associated with an authorized user, a message configured to alert the authorized user of the vehicle damage, the message including at least a portion of the vehicle damage data. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more vehicle sensor comprise a sensor located within a body frame of the vehicle. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the message includes identifying information associated with one or more entities detected inside or outside the vehicle at a time when the vehicle damage occurred. 14. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising: receiving sensor data from one or more vehicle sensors;determining, from the sensor data, whether vehicle damage has occurred to a particular area of the vehicle;selecting, when vehicle damage has occurred to the particular area of the vehicle, non-vehicle sensors and at least one of the one or more vehicle sensors in an area surrounding the particular area;recording, by the selected non-vehicle sensors and the at least one of the one or more vehicle sensors, vehicle damage data corresponding to the vehicle damage that has occurred; andstoring the vehicle damage data in a user profile memory associated with a user of the vehicle. 15. The computer readable medium of claim 14, further comprising comparing the sensor data to vehicle damage threshold data. 16. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein vehicle damage occurs if one or more vehicle damage thresholds are exceeded. 17. The computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the one or more vehicle sensors comprise an image sensor, a motion sensor, a vibration sensor and a force sensor. 18. The computer readable medium of claim 14, further comprising: sending, to a communication device associated with an authorized user, a message configured to alert the authorized user of the vehicle damage, the message including at least a portion of the vehicle damage data. 19. A vehicle damage incident detection system comprising a vehicle control system that: receives sensor data from one or more vehicle sensors;determines, from the sensor data, whether vehicle damage has occurred to a particular area of the vehicle;selects, when vehicle damage has occurred to the particular area of the vehicle, non-vehicle sensors and at least one of the one or more vehicle sensors in an area surrounding the particular area;records, by the selected non-vehicle sensors and the at least one of the one or more vehicle sensors, vehicle damage data corresponding to the vehicle damage that has occurred; andstores the vehicle damage data in a user profile memory associated with a user of the vehicle. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the vehicle control system is further configured to compare the sensor data to vehicle damage threshold data.
