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

An example operation may include one or more of receiving a software update at a transport of a subset of transports, validating the software update based on one or more of: a period of time when the software update is in use, and a number of utilizations of the software update by the subset of the transports, propagating the software update based on the validating, to a further subset of transports, wherein the further subset of the transports is larger than the subset of the transports.

Management of transport software updates

An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a server, that a transport is inoperable on a route, instructing, by the server, an alternate transport to navigate to the transport, configuring, by the server, the alternate transport based on a configuration of the transport and routing, by the server, the configured alternate transport to an intended destination of the transport.

Automatic alternate transportation

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 may include one or more of receiving a software update at a transport, performing a first validation of the software update in a first environment, wherein the first environment includes a least amount of potential interactions, and performing a further validation of the software update when the first validation is successful, in a further environment, wherein the further environment includes an amount of potential interactions greater than the first environment.

An example operation may include one or more of detecting a potential event via sensors on a transport, sending data related to the potential event to other transports within a predefined distance, storing the data at the transports and a server, and performing a transport operation response on the transports.

Vehicle-to-vehicle sensor data sharing

An example operation may include one or more of sending, by a master transport, a first portion of a software update to a transport of a first subset of transports, sending, by a master transport, a second portion of the software update to a transport of a further subset of transports, when a first transport of the subset of the transports and a second transport of the further subset of the transports are in proximity, causing the first transport to send the first portion of the software update to the second transport, and causing the second transport to send the second portion of the software update to the first transport.

An example operation includes one or more of detecting, by a server, a target transport operating in an unsafe manner, locating, the by the server, at least one autonomous transport in front of the target transport, and maneuvering the at least one autonomous transport to affect the target transport.

Control of transport en route

An example operation may include one or more of determining an amount of time a transport will lose a data network connection when the transport is predicted to enter an area associated with the loss of the data network connection, and sending an emergency signal to a third party when the amount of time has passed since the transport has entered the area and there is no alternate path out of the area.
