Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a vehicle, a first amount of time until the vehicle arrives at a location experiencing a power outage, determining, by the vehicle, a second amount of time until a threshold associated with one or more devices in the location is exceeded, and the second amount of time is less than the first amount of time, and directing, by the vehicle, an energy storage unit associated with the location to power the one or more devices.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to influencing control of a vehicle to improve hitchless towing. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a current condition associated with a lead vehicle and a following vehicle. The method includes, responsive to determining that the current condition satisfies an adjustment threshold for modifying a behavior of at least one of the lead vehicle and the following vehicle, determining a vehicle action associated with the current condition. The method includes providing an output according to the vehicle action.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of analyzing a driving pattern of a vehicle, predicting a destination of the vehicle based on the analyzing, and performing an action at the predicted destination based on an amount of time until an arrival of the vehicle at the predicted destination.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining that a first vehicle is unable to receive a charge at a charging station, determining that a second vehicle is unable to receive a charge at the charging station, and notifying one or more other vehicles of an inability to receive a charge at the charging station.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of: determining, by a vehicle that has been damaged, a health of a battery in the vehicle, wherein the health is related to a capacity and a physical condition of the battery; determining, by the vehicle, an accessibility of the battery; and determining, by the vehicle, a future use of the battery, based on the determined health and the determined accessibility.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of: determining, by a vehicle, a severity and a length related to a predicted outage at a location; determining, by the vehicle, an optimal charge of a battery of the vehicle prior to the predicted outage, wherein the optimal charge is based on the severity and the length; comparing, by the vehicle, a current charge of the battery to the optimal charge; and charging, by the vehicle, the battery to the optimal charge when the current charge is below the optimal charge.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to disengaging a grouped vehicle by transferring control to an operator safely from a communication interruption. In one embodiment, a method includes predicting a communication interruption between a leading vehicle and a following vehicle that are traveling on a road as a group. The method also includes, upon communication parameters being unsatisfied, controlling the following vehicle automatically using an actual path history for the leading vehicle until exhaustion. The method also includes maneuvering the following vehicle with an estimated trajectory using a predicted path history for the leading vehicle generated from a model following the exhaustion until a handover.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to aligning rear-sections of grouped vehicles for cooperative control and tracking that deters disturbances from surrounding vehicles. In one embodiment, a method includes connecting a following vehicle and a leading vehicle located in proximity wirelessly for reverse-following with rear-sections, the following vehicle and the leading vehicle forming a group. The method also includes aligning the rear-sections using a position and an orientation of the leading vehicle, the position and the orientation has centers of the rear-sections within a zone. The method also includes tracking a target path of the leading vehicle by the following vehicle automatically for the reverse-following.
