Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for forecasting occupancy of a vehicle location. This includes receiving, by at least one processor, status information of a parking location the status information representing an availability of the parking location; predicting, by the at least one processor, a future status of the parking location based on the received status information; determining, by the at least one processor, a destination based on the predicted future status of the parking location; and providing, by the at least one processor, the predicted future status to a controller of a vehicle for controlling the vehicle to drive to the destination.

Abstract: A system includes a verification engine communicatively coupled to a sensing device and a database, the verification engine receives first authentication data, retrieves, from the database, second authentication data associated with a stored vehicle identifier to compare the vehicle identifier to the stored vehicle identifier to determine whether the vehicle identifier matches the stored vehicle identifier. In a case the vehicle identifier matches the stored vehicle identifier the user device is authenticated and access to the vehicle is provided.
