An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a vehicle, that an occupant assist application is operating in the vehicle to assist a vehicle occupant during vehicle operation, determining, by the vehicle, that an unsafe driving condition is likely to occur via a monitoring application, prior to a time that the unsafe driving condition is expected to occur, ceasing, by the vehicle, the occupant assist application, and executing, by the vehicle, a driving assist application to assist with the vehicle operation during the unsafe driving condition.

Controlling application use during vehicle operation

An example operation includes one or more of determining if a user of a vehicle is an authorized user, determining data received by the vehicle is sensitive, and responsive to the user being authorized, storing the received sensitive data in the vehicle and purging other sensitive data stored in the vehicle similar to the stored sensitive data. A time of storage of the other sensitive data precedes a time of storage of the sensitive data.

Vehicular sensitive data control

An example operation includes one or more of monitoring, via a vehicle, a behavior of an occupant of the vehicle, responsive to the behavior being above a threshold, generating via an application of the vehicle, a first suggested action intended for the occupant based on the behavior and an amount the behavior is above the threshold, monitoring, by the vehicle, whether the first suggested action is being performed by the occupant, determining an alternate action is being performed by the occupant, generating a second suggested action based on the alternate action and the first suggested action, and providing a value to an occupant device associated with the occupant responsive to the second action being detected by the transport.

Vehicle occupant behavior monitoring application

An example operation may include one or more of monitoring, by a transport, data related to behavior of an occupant of the transport, determining, by the transport, a mode of the occupant based on the data, and adjusting, by the transport, an environment of the transport based on the mode of the occupant.

Adjustment of environment of transports

An example operation includes one or more of: determining an operating behavior of a first vehicle that is not part of a connected vehicle system from a device communicatively coupled to the first vehicle, wherein the device is configured to operate with the connected vehicle system; determining that the operating behavior is not associated with a second vehicle that is part of the connected vehicle system; and initiating the operating behavior in the second vehicle when the device is communicatively coupled to the second vehicle.

Initiating operating behavior between vehicles

An example operation may include one or more of detecting, by a parking processing node, a parking of a transport at an event location, accessing, by the parking processing node, a device of a transport occupant to determine a transport pickup location and a pickup time based on a conclusion of an event, detecting, by the parking processing node, from the device of the transport occupant at least one modification of the pickup location and the pickup time made based on an updated conclusion of the event, and sending a command to move the transport to a location proximate to the event based on the modified pickup location and the modified pickup time.

Transport relocation

A vehicle system includes a vehicle body defining a vehicle interior and a vehicle exterior, one or more detection devices including at least one of a microphone and a camera structurally configured to receive data indicative of conditions within the vehicle interior or on the vehicle exterior, a sanitization device, and a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more detection devices and the sanitization device, the controller including a processor and a non-transitory computer readable and executable instruction set, which when executed, causes the processor to receives data from the one or more detection devices, determine a surface at least one of within the vehicle interior or on the vehicle exterior contacted by a user based at least in part on the data from the one or more detection devices, and direct the sanitization device to sanitize the surface.

Vehicle sanitizing systems and methods for using the same

An example operation may include providing a value to a transport based on sensor data associated the transport.

Vehicle data sharing with interested parties

An example operation may include one or more of receiving, by a dealer node, a request for a transport with a set of properties, querying, by the dealer node, a plurality of dealer nodes for the transport based on the set of the properties, responsive to receiving transport availability notifications, requesting a transfer of the transport from at least one dealer node of the plurality of the dealer nodes, receiving agreements from the plurality of the dealer nodes for the transfer of the transport, and recording the transfer of the transport on a remote storage.

Processing of requests

An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a server, characteristics related to a transport within a time period, wherein the characteristics are related to a condition of the transport, an operation behavior of the transport and an upkeep of the transport, providing, by the server, one or more actions to perform by the transport to increase a level of the characteristics, and responsive to the level of the characteristics being increased, determining, by the server, a next use of the transport after the time period.

Transport assessment

An example operation may include one or more of receiving, by a diagnostic center, malfunction information related to a transport, acquiring, by a diagnostic center, agreements on a threshold for the malfunction information from a plurality of diagnostic centers, in response to the malfunction information exceeding the threshold, storing the malfunction information on a remote storage, and deleting the malfunction information from the transport.

Tracking of transport data

An example operation includes one or more of obtaining, by a transport, data related to a performance of the transport, determining, by the transport, a performance level of the transport based on the obtained data, dynamically revising, by the transport, the performance level based on a current use of the transport, and determining, by the transport, a next use of the transport, based on the dynamically revised performance level.

Transport use determination

A method for matching a vehicle with a user including receiving a user ride request for a vehicle from a plurality of available vehicles from a user, receiving a threshold vehicle risk score preference for the user, receiving a user risk score for the user, receiving a threshold user risk score preference for the plurality of available vehicles, identifying a subset of the plurality of available vehicles having a vehicle risk score at or below the threshold vehicle risk score preference of the user and a threshold user risk score preference at or above the user risk score of the user, and presenting the user with ride options for selecting one of the subset of the plurality of available vehicles of the subset of available vehicles for the user ride request.

Vehicle matching systems and methods for matching a user with a vehicle

An example operation may include one or more of receiving, at a server, sensor data from one or more sensors disposed on a vehicle, receiving, at the server, additional sensor data from a computing device operating inside the vehicle, determining the sensor data and the additional sensor data correspond to the vehicle's operational status, determining whether one or more of the sensor data and the additional sensor data exceed one or more thresholds, and when one or more of the sensor data and the additional sensor data exceed the one or more thresholds, providing a value to the vehicle.
