The present invention may include a processor that coupling vehicles into a linked vehicle, where each vehicle has a powertrain device with an attachment device, where the attachment device detaches the powertrain device from one of the vehicles. The processor causes the attachment device to detach the powertrain device from at least one of the vehicles based on determining that a weight of the linked vehicle should be reduced.

Disclosed are techniques for automatically aligning a wrist-mounted display device to a primary display device to facilitate simultaneous use of both display devices. Historical usage information corresponding to a user using both devices is leveraged to determine usage patterns for the devices together. Subsequently, when the primary display device is used by the user, the usage patterns are used to determine when the wrist-mounted display device can be used together with the primary display device. Position information from each device is used to determine a position for the wrist-mounted display device to automatically relocate to for aligning the wrist-mounted display device and the primary display device to have similar viewing directions. The wrist-mounted display device is automatically aligned to the position, and a usage of the aligned wrist-mounted display device is initiated based on the historical usage patterns.

A computer system processes speech. Speech of a user is received from an audio sensor. An interruption in the speech of the user is determined and the speech of the user is analyzed to determine a context of the speech. One or more language data sources are analyzed to generate a suggestion corresponding to the interruption and based on the context of the speech. The suggestion is presented to the user. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for prompting a user in substantially the same manner described above.
