Systems and methods for swarm invitation based on social values are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes calculating a total disruption value of a proximate vehicle on a roadway with a plurality of swarm vehicles of a swarm on the roadway. The total disruption value of the proximate vehicle is based on a velocity disruption value of the proximate vehicle and a position disruption value of the proximate vehicle. The method also includes determining a proximate social alignment value of the proximate vehicle based on a comparison of the total disruption value to a threshold disruption value. The threshold disruption value is based on a desired social alignment value of the swarm. The method yet further includes sending a swarm request to the proximate vehicle when the proximate social alignment value corresponding to the desired social alignment value.
