Abstract: A device that includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the device is programmed to identify a wearable device and a set of vehicle data from a vehicle. The user device sends a human machine interface (HMI) message to the wearable device. The HMI message is based at least in part on the set of vehicle data.

Abstract: A system of one or more computers can be configured to perform particular operations or actions by virtue of having software, firmware, hardware, or a combination of them installed on a user device that includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the device is programmed to: send a trigger configuration file to a vehicle computer in a vehicle; receive an indication of a trigger from the vehicle computer; receive an input from a wearable device; and execute a task, based on the input and the trigger. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.

Abstract: A headway between a first vehicle and a second vehicle is determined. A predicted time to collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle is determined. A first mechanism in a wearable device in the first vehicle is actuated when the headway is less than a predetermined threshold. A second mechanism in the first vehicle is actuated when the predicted time to collision is less than a second predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A time to lane crossing that is a measure of a time for a vehicle to cross from a lane to another lane, is determined. A lane negotiation characteristic that is a measure of a mean vehicle offset front the lane, is determined. A first mechanism is actuated in a wearable device when the time to lane crossing is below a first threshold and the lane negotiation characteristic exceeds a second threshold. A second mechanism is actuated in the vehicle when a lane negotiation controller detects an imminent lane departure.

Abstract: A first output mechanism in a wearable device is actuated when a vehicle reverse speed exceeds a first threshold. A second output mechanism in a vehicle is actuated when a rear obstacle collision detection controller detects an impending collision with a rear obstacle.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to wirelessly instruct fuel dispensation initiation over a direct wireless connection between a vehicle and a refueling truck, responsive to a wireless request made by the refueling truck, the request including a valid token and a refueling truck MAC ID with which the wireless connection is established.

Abstract: Data on an impending curve, speed, and acceleration of a vehicle are collected. A curve attention output that is a measure of the vehicle speed, the vehicle acceleration, and the curvature of the impending curve is determined based at least in part on the data. An output mechanism in a wearable device is activated at a first intensity when the curve attention output exceeds or is equal to a first threshold and below a second threshold. The output mechanism is activated at a second intensity when the curve attention output exceeds or is equal to the second threshold and below a third threshold.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a communication device programmed to pair with a mobile device and a processing device programmed to periodically transmit, to the mobile device, a present location signal representing a present location of the mobile device. The processing device is further programmed to detect a vehicle shutdown and transmit a final location signal to the mobile device, the final location signal representing a final location of the mobile device and a shutdown flag.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle computing system (VCS) and an adaptive cruise control module, a lane departure warning (LDW) module, a navigation system, or an alert mechanism (e.g., audible, visual or tactile). The VCS communicates with an activity tracking device worn by a vehicle driver. The activity tracking device detects and records biometric characteristics of the driver, and is capable of exchanging data with the VCS. The VCS generates at least one output signal based on data from the activity tracking device. An adaptive cruise control module may increase the distance between the vehicle and a tracking vehicle based on the signal. A navigation system may generate a recommended parking location based on a difference between step goals and current steps detected by the activity tracking device.

Abstract: Biometric data about a vehicle occupant are received from a wearable device. Based at least in part on the biometric data, an occupant alertness and an occupant workload are determined. A rate of transmission of messages to the occupant is adjusted based at least in part on at least one of the occupant workload and the occupant alertness.
