Abstract: A self-driving or autonomous vehicle transmits a vehicle-to-vehicle offer message from a user of a vehicle-connected mobile communication device riding in the self-driving vehicle to a second user of a second mobile communication device riding in a second vehicle to pay for a traffic prioritization relative to the second vehicle. The first mobile communication device receives a reply message and sends a payment to the second mobile communication device or an account associated with the second mobile communication device to obtain the traffic prioritization relative to the other vehicle. For example, the traffic prioritization may enable one vehicle to pass the other vehicle, to take precedence at an intersection or to be given priority to take a parking place or any other traffic-related advantage.
