An approach is provided for intelligent inspection and interaction between a vehicle and a drone. The approach, for example, involves retrieving vehicle specification data for the vehicle. The vehicle specification data identifies one or more sensors of the vehicle, one or more sensor locations on the vehicle corresponding to the one or more sensors, or a combination thereof. The approach also involves configuring the drone device to move from a docked location to the one or more sensor locations on the vehicle based on the vehicle specification data. The approach further involves initiating an inspection function, an interaction function, or a combination thereof between the drone device and the vehicle when the drone device is positioned in proximity to the one or more sensor locations.
