    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for scheduling pre-departure charging for electric vehicles includes predicting a user-departure time based on a first machine learning prediction model. The method further includes determining a cabin temperature to be set for the user at the user-departure time based on a second machine learning prediction model. The method further includes determining a battery-temperature to be set at the user-departure time based on a third machine learning prediction model. The method further includes determining a present charge level of a battery of the electric vehicle. The method further includes computing a charging start-time to start charging the battery based on one or more attributes of a charging station to which the electric vehicle is coupled, and based on the user-departure time, the cabin temperature, and the battery-temperature. The method further includes initiating charging the battery at the charging start-time.

    Abstract: Methods and systems involve obtaining information from one or more sources to determine a real-time context. A method includes determining a situational awareness score indicating a level of vigilance required based on the real-time context, obtaining images of eyes of a driver to detect a gaze pattern of the driver, determining a relevant attention score indicating a level of engagement of the driver in the real-time context based on a match between the gaze pattern of the driver and the real-time context, and obtaining images of the driver to detect behavior of the driver. A driver readiness score is determined and indicates a level of readiness of the driver to resume driving the vehicle based on the behavior of the driver. An off-road glance time is obtained based on using the situational awareness score, the relevant attention score, and the driver readiness score.

    Abstract: A method of reducing traffic congestion for a road network. The method includes predicting future traffic congestion levels for the road network based on historical traffic congestion levels for the road network. An individual contribution to the future traffic congestion levels for each of a plurality of drivers is predicted based on future routes corresponding to each of the plurality of drivers with the future routes including at least one road segment through the road network. At least one congested road segment is identified based on the future traffic congestion levels for the road network and the plurality of drivers with a highest individual contribution to the at least one congested road segment are identified. The plurality of drivers with the highest individual contributions to the at least one congested road segment are provided a first offer to avoid operating a vehicle on the road network.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle includes collecting data about human driving styles; machine learning how the human driver reacts to different traffic scenarios based on the collected data to create a plurality of human driving styles profiles; selecting an optimal driving profile of the plurality of human driving styles profiles, wherein the optimal driving profile is selected based feedback provided by a passenger of the vehicle, the feedback is indicative of a pleasantness of each of the plurality of human driving styles profiles; creating a driving plan based on the optimal driving profile; commanding the vehicle to execute the driving plan in a controlled environment to test the pleasantness of the optimal driving profile; and receiving a pleasantness rating from the passenger of the vehicle while the vehicle executes the driving plan.

    Abstract: Examples of techniques for vehicle communication between a first vehicle and a second vehicle are disclosed. An example method includes displaying, on an external vehicle display of the first vehicle, vehicle data. The method further includes capturing, by a camera of the second vehicle, an image of the external vehicle display. The method further includes processing, by a processing device associated with the second vehicle, the image to extract the vehicle data about the first vehicle. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, a position of the first vehicle relative to a position of the second vehicle based at least in part on the vehicle data. The method further includes controlling, by the processing device associated with the second vehicle, the second vehicle based at least in part on the position of the first vehicle relative to the position of the second vehicle.
