Abstract

An autonomous computing system managed through an internet of things (IoT) protocol is provided. A computing device determines a clustering of autonomous vehicles based on expression sentiment data of each passenger of a respective autonomous vehicle. A computing device determines a node within an IoT network and monitors a plurality of autonomous vehicles traveling though the node. A computing device identifies a time frame in which each respective vehicle in the cluster is predicted to pass through an intersection. A computing device identifies a current traffic pattern of a vehicle that is external to the cluster of autonomous vehicles. The one or more processors adjust the traffic flow to allow the clustering of autonomous vehicles to pass through an intersection at a rate that maintains a threshold level of comfort for each passenger in the determined cluster of autonomous vehicles.
