    Abstract: A communication system includes a detector for detecting a geo-graphical region in which there is a need for communication; at least one motor vehicle having a first wireless interface for coupling to a mobile device in the area of the motor vehicle and a second wireless interface for coupling to a communication network; and a management device. The management device is designed to control the motor vehicle in order to make a communication connection in the determined region between a mobile device in the region and a resource connected to the communication network.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method of facilitating communications from an autonomous vehicle to a user. For instance, a method may include, while attempting to pick up the user and prior to the user entering an vehicle, inputting a current location of the vehicle and map information into a model in order to identify a type of communication action for communicating a location of the vehicle to the user; enabling a first communication based on the type of the communication action; determining whether the user has responded to the first communication from received sensor data; and enabling a second communication based on the determination of whether the user has responded to the communication.

    Abstract: A vehicle management system (1) for managing a plurality of vehicles shared by a plurality of users, comprising: a controller (10) for accepting a use request for using the vehicle from the user and managing vehicle dispatch; and a database (20) for storing the use request including a departure place and a destination of the vehicle designated by the user, wherein the controller (10) calculates a required time for the vehicle to arrive at the destination designated by a first user who has made the use request as a first time, calculates a time which is a longer time than the first time and is a time to present to the first user, as a second time, calculates an available area for ride-sharing based on the service capacity, accepts the use request from the second user, and when the departure place designated by the second user is within the available area for ride-sharing, has the vehicle pass through the departure place designated by the second.

    Abstract: A control circuit of a first vehicle may transmit an invitation for a second vehicle to join a vehicle platoon with the first vehicle. The vehicle platoon may include a plurality of vehicles for traveling. The invitation may include one or more travel parameters. The control circuit may receive a response to the invitation for the second vehicle to join the vehicle platoon, the response indicating one or more characteristics of the second vehicle. The control circuit may determine that the second vehicle is to be included into the vehicle platoon based on the one or more characteristics of the second vehicle. The control circuit may, in response to determining that the second vehicle is to be included in the vehicle platoon, generate instructions for the second vehicle to join the vehicle platoon. The control circuit may output the instructions for the second vehicle to join the vehicle platoon.

    Abstract: A system for communicating fleet-specific features to one or more personal electronic devices includes one or more controllers in wireless communication with a centralized computer system including one or more databases for storing the fleet-specific features. The one or more controllers execute instructions to undergo a passive wireless interaction with the one or more personal electronic devices. The passive wireless interaction involves determining the one or more personal electronic devices are located within a predefined proximity around a vehicle without human interaction. In response to undergoing the passive wireless interaction, the one or more controllers transmit one or more fleet-specific features to the one or more personal electronic devices, wherein the one or more fleet-specific features are shared by a fleet of vehicles, where the fleet of vehicles include an immediate vehicle and a group of vehicles that share one or more common attributes.
