Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for systems and methods for controlling operation of an in-vehicle computing system. In some embodiments, an in-vehicle computing system includes a processor, an external device interface communicatively coupleable to an extra-vehicle server, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to receive information from a navigation subsystem and one or more sensors of the vehicle. The information may include user information identifying one or more occupants of the vehicle with one or more accounts of a social media network. The instructions may also be executable to send the received information to the server, receive instructions from the server, and transmit control instructions to one or more vehicle systems based on the identified action. The instructions may identify an action to be performed based on the received information.
