Abstract
Vehicles may be associated with a variety of different types of events, including events associated with vehicle operations and/or events associated with vehicle passengers. The present disclosure is related to, when an event is detected, exchanging information with a vehicle passenger, such as via the passenger's mobile device and/or wearable device. In some instances, an event may be detected, and examples of the present disclosure may provide an application notification presenting various information. The notification may, in some examples, be configured to help the passenger locate the passenger device, to alert the passenger to the event, to provide instructions, and/or to provide a control interface for controlling a vehicle operation. In some examples, the notification may supersede operations of the passenger device, such as by being presented even if the device is in a locked state or has an unrelated application open and in the foreground.
