Abstract: A method and a system for establishing and managing a virtual fleet of connected vehicles are provided herein. The system may include: a computer processor associated with an automotive data server; a data storage associated with said automotive data server, wherein the computer processor is configured to obtain a request to form a virtual fleet being an association of two or more connected vehicles, wherein each of the connected vehicles is communicating with said automotive data server that manages a plurality of connected vehicles wherein automotive data thereof is stored in an anonymized form on said data storage, and wherein the computer processor is further configured to establish a virtual fleet of said two or more connected vehicles, responsive to said request, wherein managing said virtual fleet is carried out via said automotive data server.

Abstract: The delivery of content is improved from a user's perspective by encouraging the cache of user devices to maintain more current data prior to requesting web pages that would invoke the download of the more current data. A cache simulation of the cache in the user devices is maintained. When objects within the cache simulator are expected to require updating, actions are taken to encourage the user device to update the cache. The actions include modifying markup language files that are downloaded to the user device to invoke the update. For instance, artificial URL's that request the updated objects, embedded scripts, user selection objects, or the like are used to invoke an update process.
