Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, systems and apparatus are provided for sharing information between a group of vehicles that includes a first vehicle and one or more other vehicles. Each of the vehicles includes an onboard computer system that includes a computer processor, a receiver, a transmitter, and a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The storage medium stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform various acts. In accordance with the method, an onboard computer at the first vehicle generates information and automatically communicates that information to the other vehicles of the group of vehicles. Upon receiving this information at each of the other vehicles, the information can be processed at the onboard computers of each of the other vehicles, and then presented via human machine interfaces that are disposed within or inside each of the other vehicles.

Abstract: A method for network services with a mobile vehicle comprising: initiating from a remote station a first connection session with a device in the mobile vehicle, wherein during the first connection session the device is notified of a pending command; and initiating a second connection session from the device in the mobile vehicle to the remote station in response to the first connection session, wherein the pending command is transmitted to the device in the mobile vehicle during the second session.
