An example operation may include one or more of assigning a fractional ownership of a transport, receiving, at a server, sensor data associated with one or more of the transport and a device proximate to the transport, determining a condition of the transport, based on the sensor data, updating the fractional ownership of the transport based on the condition, and providing a responsibility based on the fractional ownership.

Transport sharing and ownership among multiple entities

Systems and methods are provided for operating a vehicle using dynamic speed limits. A vehicle can monitor current road conditions by capturing real-time data that is indicative of a driving environment associated with a roadway being traversed by the vehicle. Using the captured real-time data, the vehicle can predict a dynamic speed limit, wherein the dynamic speed limit is a driving speed for the vehicle that is adapted for the monitored current road conditions. Additionally, the vehicle can automatically perform a driving operation for the vehicle in accordance with the dynamic speed limit, wherein the driving operation causes the vehicle to move at a driving speed that is approximately equal to the predicted dynamic speed limit.

Dynamic speed limit for vehicles and autonomous vehicles

Methods and systems for navigating a vehicle. The system includes an input/output device of the vehicle configured to receive a destination from a user of the vehicle. The system also includes a transceiver of the vehicle configured to receive traffic data and traffic light timing data of traffic lights between a current location of the vehicle and the destination. The system also includes an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle configured to determine one or more routes from the current location to the destination based on the traffic data and the traffic light timing data.

System and method for reducing route time using big data

Methods, systems, and devices for a cross-linked distributed ledger. The cross-referencing system includes multiple computing devices including a first computing device and a second computing device. A computing device of the multiple computing devices is configured to maintain a first cross-linked distributed ledger. The first cross-linked distributed ledger has a first set of multiple linked records that are associated with a first identifier. The first computing device includes a processor. The processor is configured to link or provide a first record associated with the first identifier to the first cross-linked distributed ledger. The first record has a first reference to a second record. The second record is within a second set of multiple cross-linked records of a second cross-linked distributed ledger.

Parallel blockchains for vehicle and user ID

Apparatus, systems, and methods for methods for monitoring the health status of a vehicle occupant by detecting when a triggering physiological condition is met, confirming the triggering physiological condition is real by identifying a separate vehicle triggering event, and automatically responding to minimize the potential impact of the triggering event.

Vehicle occupant health monitor system and method

An example operation may include one or more of applying a user profile to one or more transports and a transport management database, monitoring user requirements and user usage of the one or more transports over a period of time, identifying a plurality of transport profiles stored in a transport availability pool of the transport management database, identifying a proposed fractional ownership of one or more of a plurality of transports identified in the transport availability pool based on the monitored user requirements and user usage of the one or more transports, and providing the proposed fractional ownership of the one or more of a plurality of transports identified in the transport availability pool to a user device associated with the user.

A system and method for tracking and validating value of a vehicle, includes a memory device, a wireless communication device, authentication processor that authenticates the vehicle and generates one or more security keys, and a processor maintaining a token linked to the vehicle that designates the vehicle as a stake. The processor executes instructions to when a condition change event of the vehicle occurs, receive information of a change of state from the vehicle, generate a message including the change of state information, sign the message with a private key, transmit the signed message using the wireless communication device, choosing a node of a blockchain distributed network, evaluating, via the chosen node, the signed message in accordance with distributed contract rules to determine an updated token value and a residual token, and receive and maintain the updated token value and the residual token.

Vehicle value as a token

A system for a vehicle includes one or more processors, one or more memory modules, and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules. The machine readable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to: receive one or more images from one or more imaging sensors in the vehicle; identify a first object in a rear seat of the vehicle based on the one or more images; identify a second object attached to the first object based on the one or more images; determine whether the second object is in a set of objects; and output an alert in response to determining that the second object is in the set of objects.

Methods and systems for monitoring rear objects in a vehicle

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving vehicle routing for a mobility service. In one embodiment, a method includes, in response to receiving a routing request for the mobility service, determining candidate vehicles and candidate routes for the candidate vehicles to fulfill the routing request. The method includes evaluating the candidate routes using a meta-heuristic that modifies and assesses the candidate routes according to at least a fitness function defines attributes for constraining the candidate routes. The method includes providing a solution route from the candidate routes upon the solution route satisfying at least one solution condition.

Systems and methods for improved vehicle routing to account for real-time passenger pickup and dropoff

Methods and systems for managing access to a data location associated with a vehicle. The method includes detecting, by one or more sensors of the vehicle, vehicle data. The method also includes recording, by an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, the vehicle data to the data location. The method also includes storing, by a smart contract located on a blockchain, an access state associated with the data location, the access state indicating one or more devices having access to the data location. The method also includes communicating, by the ECU, an instruction to the smart contract to change the access state associated with the data location to grant access to a third-party device or revoke access from the third-party device.
