A system receives a vehicle transport instruction for transporting a vehicle. The system instructs display of an indicator related to the transport instruction, using a first vehicle output. Further, the system determines whether a vehicle is in a state designated for alert notification based on at least a transportation error detected by the vehicle and changes at least one of the first vehicle output or a second vehicle output to indicate the transportation error responsive to detection of the transportation error by the vehicle.

Dynamic vehicle state notification and information conveyance

A smart hose system includes a hose and a clamp monitor secured to the hose and in proximity to a portion of the hose at which a clamp is to be secured. The clamp monitor is configured to responsively interact with the clamp and includes a signal generator configured to provide a first response to an inquiry signal with the clamp being in a first state and provide a second response with the clamp being in a second state.
