  • Vehicle matching systems and methods for matching a user with a vehicle
    Patent number: 11940283
    Abstract: A method for matching a vehicle with a user including receiving a user ride request for a vehicle from a plurality of available vehicles from a user, receiving a threshold vehicle risk score preference for the user, receiving a user risk score for the user, receiving a threshold user risk score preference for the plurality of available vehicles, identifying a subset of the plurality of available vehicles having a vehicle risk score at or below the threshold vehicle risk score preference of the user and a threshold user risk score preference at or above the user risk score of the user, and presenting the user with ride options for selecting one of the subset of the plurality of available vehicles of the subset of available vehicles for the user ride request.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING A SANITIZATION STATUS OF AN ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20220335247
    Abstract: A system for determining a sanitization status of an environment includes a plurality of sensors integrated into a surface of the environment, wherein each sensor of the plurality of sensors senses the sanitization status of the surface around the respective sensor, provides data related to the sanitization status, and provides output regarding the sanitization status, a computing device that stores logic that, when executed by the computing device causes the computing device to perform at least: receive the data related to the sanitization status from each of the plurality of sensors; determine at least one unsanitized zone on the surface from the data; and communicate data related to the at least one unsanitized zone to the plurality of sensors such that the plurality of sensors may provide the output regarding the at least one unsanitized zone.
