Techniques for communication between modules of a digital experience platform of a vehicle system are described. The vehicle system may be a ridesharing vehicle with a seat display module at each seat and an auxiliary display module that operates at a vehicle level. The seat display modules and the auxiliary display module communicate across a digital experience communication bus of the vehicle system. The seat display modules and the auxiliary display module change states based on conditions within the vehicle and convey system state updates across the communication bus to update a stored state of each display module vehicle-wide.

Dedicated digital experience communication bus

A method includes receiving a message from a requesting device indicating a passenger request for ride services performed by an autonomous vehicle. The system determines, based on the request message, the pooling status of the requested ride services, generates a seat assignment and provides individualized vehicle options to individual users in the vehicle based on profile information in the mission packet.
