1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one memory;
instructions in the apparatus; and
at least one processor to execute the instructions to:
track a vehicle using a first sensor associated with a first observer of the vehicle, wherein a sensor output of the first sensor is to define first information of the vehicle;
track the vehicle using a second sensor associated with a second observer of the vehicle, wherein a sensor output of the second sensor is to define second information of the vehicle;
store the first and second information in a database;
determine a first aggregate amount of time the first sensor tracked the vehicle;
determine a second aggregate amount of time the second sensor tracked the vehicle;
compare the first aggregate amount of time to the second aggregate amount of time;
eliminate the first information from the database when the second aggregate amount of time exceeds the first aggregate amount of time;
calculate a likelihood of a collision of the vehicle based on the second information; and
cause the vehicle to maneuver by transmitting a message to the vehicle upon the likelihood of the collision exceeding a collision probability threshold, the message including information pertaining to the collision.
