Publication number: 20240005286Abstract: Systems and methods for an automated process for vehicle service. In particular, an individually owned vehicle is integrated with a service provider platform for a fleet of vehicles such that data flows bidirectionally between the vehicle and the platform. The bidirectional flow of data enables an intelligent and automated end-to-end maintenance and/or repair process for the individually owned vehicle, including issue detection, accident management, and seamless vehicle exchange. For example, the vehicle can send a signal to the platform to schedule a repair and request a replacement vehicle from the platform during the repair. The platform can coordinate with a facility to schedule the repair, send a signal to the vehicle to autonomously drive itself to the scheduled repair, and provide a replacement vehicle to the vehicle's home during the repair.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2022Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: GM Cruise Holdings LLCInventors: Alexander Willem Gerrese, Jennifer Devar McKnew, Grace Noh, Spencer James, Swarnakshi Kapil
