Abstract
A vehicle including a transceiver, a human-machine interface (HMI) and a processor is disclosed. The transceiver may be configured to receive information associated with a pick-up point of a user and a real-time geolocation of a user device associated with the user. The processor may be configured to obtain the information associated with the pick-up point from the transceiver, and determine that a predefined condition may be met based on the information associated with the pick-up point. The processor may further obtain the real-time geolocation responsive to determining that the predefined condition may be met. The processor may then output the real-time geolocation on the HMI.
