An example operation includes one or more of determining an event has occurred at a location, responsive to a level of the event being above a threshold, determining vehicles heading toward the location that can display information on an exterior portion of the vehicles, requesting to display the information on the vehicles, and responsive of an approval to the requesting, sending the information to the vehicles to display.

Authorization for vehicle display

A location matching method is provided. The method comprises receiving one or more photos of one or more vacant properties and surroundings of the one or more vacant properties, processing the one or more photos of the one or more vacant properties and surroundings of the one or more vacant properties to extract features related to the surroundings of the one or more vacant properties, generating one or more tags descriptive of the one or more photos based on the features that are extracted, receiving a preference from a user, and generating for output to the user one or more recommended properties based on a comparison of the one or more tags and the preference.

Systems and methods for vacant property identification and display

An example operation includes one or more of receiving an opt-in request to display information on a display of a vehicle configured to be viewed from outside of the vehicle, authenticating the request to allow displaying information on the display, determining information associated with the vehicle to be displayed on the display, determining misuse of the information displayed on the display based on a notification from another vehicle, and flagging the misuse.

Dynamic vehicle tags

In one embodiment, a system includes a controller. The controller is configured to perform operations including obtaining data about an area related to a user, determining vacancy information about the area based on the data, determining at least one of an accessibility and a usability of the area, determining that the area is available for occupancy by one or more mobile units based on the vacancy information and at least one of the accessibility and the usability of the area, and updating a map including the area with an indication that the area is available for occupancy by one or more mobile units.

Methods and systems for identifying underused properties and utilizing underused properties by leveraging mobile units

Disclosed herein are apparatus for a system includes a main vehicle and a secondary vehicle configured to couple to the main vehicle. The secondary vehicle includes a wheel configured to move the secondary vehicle and a body coupled to the wheel. The body includes a first set of retractable bars. The first set of retractable bars are configured to extend into receivers of the main vehicle in a deactivated state. The first set of retractable bars are further configured to be disposed in the body in a retracted state. The first set of retractable bars are further configured to extend into a pod and lift the pod in an attached state.

Systems for pod movers

A telepresence robot is provided including a controller. The controller is programmed to, after establishing a remote connection with a remote user, monitor movement of a tracked individual, detect when the tracked individual has entered an office space, and upon determination that the tracked individual has entered the office space, identify the office space and transfer a connection with the remote user from the telepresence robot to a device in the office space.

Method and system for connection handover from telepresence robot to mobile office

A method includes receiving data indicating that a break-in attempt has occurred at one or more mobility units among a plurality of mobility units within a geographic area within a predetermined period of time, determining whether break-in attempts have occurred at more than a predetermined threshold number of the plurality of mobility units within the geographic area, and upon determination that break-in attempts have occurred at more than the predetermined threshold number of the plurality of mobility units within the geographic area, transmitting a signal to one or more mobility units of the plurality of mobility units within the geographic area to cause security lights associated with the one or more mobility units to illuminate.

Mobility unit security system

Methods and systems for displaying contents on a screen of a vehicle are provided. The method includes obtaining geographic information and population information for an area, obtaining a user geographic preference and a user population preference for a content, generating a route of a vehicle that maximizes exposure of the vehicle to targeted population in the area based on the geographic information, the population information, the user geographic preference, and the user population preference, and operating the vehicle to follow the route and display the content on a screen disposed on an exterior of the vehicle while following the route.

Methods, systems, and vehicles for route modification and displaying contents

A part washing apparatus includes a centrifugal filter and an ultra filter provided as a single base unit. A washing chamber is provided to enclose one or more industrial parts for cleaning with a washing solution, which is collected in a washer bath. The washing solution is then pumped through a centrifugal filter to remove contaminants from the washing solution and subsequently pumped through an ultra filter a filter configured to remove further contaminants from the washing solution.
