Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a coordinated transportation system and methods thereof. More particularly, this disclosure describes a system where passengers within two or more vehicles may enjoy a shared cabin experience. This may include, but is not limited to, a selection of music, sound clip, seat haptic, seat positioning, speaker setting, interior or exterior lighting, image or video for display, and drive mode to be shared among the vehicles. Vehicle formations to enhance the shared cabin experience may be formed. Furthermore, a global positioning system (GPS) coordinate may be established by a lead vehicle to provide other vehicles with the experience after those vehicles pass that coordinate.

Abstract: An infotainment computer device for use in controlling an infotainment system in a vehicle is provided. The infotainment computer device includes at least one processor communicatively coupled to at least one memory device and a display device communicatively coupled to the at least one processor. The infotainment computer device is programmed to display an active page and a toolbar. The active page includes a plurality of buttons and the toolbar includes a shortcut area including at least one shortcut button. The infotainment computer device is also programmed to receive a first input requesting access to a customization mode, retrieve a current speed of the vehicle, activate the customization mode if the current speed of the vehicle is zero, receive a second input indicating a desired change to at least one of the active page and the toolbar, and change the display based on the desired change.

Abstract: An electronic control device to provide package handling assistance for a vehicle. The electronic control device stores route information which includes a plurality of destination location points to be visited in an order by the vehicle, timing information, package handling instructions for at least one of a plurality of packages. The electronic control device transmits the route information to a plurality of information processing apparatuses related to a plurality of customers. The electronic control device receives a request from an information processing apparatus. The request includes a first destination location point from the plurality of destination location points for handling a package associated with a customer related to the information processing apparatus. The electronic control device updates the order of the plurality of destination location points based on the received request and further controls the movement of the vehicle based on the updated order.
