Abstract: A system for improving transportation infrastructure includes a network access device to receive vehicle behavior data from multiple vehicles, the vehicle behavior data corresponding to at least one of driver-controlled vehicle behavior or autonomous vehicle behavior and including at least one of vehicle locations associated with the vehicle behavior data or infrastructure data indicating features of infrastructure associated with the vehicle behavior data. The system further includes a memory to store the vehicle behavior data including the at least one of the vehicle locations or the infrastructure data. The system further includes a processor to perform an analysis of the vehicle behavior data and the at least one of the vehicle locations or the infrastructure data and to identify an improvement to the transportation infrastructure to at least one of reduce traffic, increase driver comfort, or increase safety based on the analysis.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to systems and methods for mitigating a risk of being followed using information and notification of being followed by a vehicle. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for mitigating a risk of being followed includes the step of detecting, by a plurality of sensors built into a first vehicle, a second vehicle that has been following the first vehicle for a period of time. The method further includes the step of presenting a notification in the first vehicle that it is being followed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for suggesting points of interest along a vehicle's route. Some methods include determining a route of a vehicle; determining a current location of the vehicle on the route; predicting a future location of the vehicle based on the route and current location; selecting one or more points of interest according to the future location of the vehicle, without human intervention; and displaying a respective photograph of each selected scenic location on a display of the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically creating combined images of a vehicle and a location. An example method may include determining a location; obtaining a stock image of an environment related to the location; obtaining an image of the vehicle; generating a combined image, comprising combining the stock image of the environment with the image of the vehicle; and displaying the combined image.

Abstract: A Mobility-as-a-Service system for assigning a vehicle in response to a ridesharing request includes one or more processors and a memory device in communication with the one or more processors. The memory device stores a receiver module and an assignment module. The receiver module includes instructions that cause the one or more processors to receive the ridesharing request that has an origin and a destination. The assignment module includes instructions that cause the one or more processors to assign the vehicle to respond to the ridesharing request based on the destination of the ridesharing request and a vehicle attribute of the vehicle related to the destination.

Abstract: Methods and systems for improving vehicle design. The system includes a vehicle sensor configured to detect whether a vehicle component is engaged by a user of the vehicle. The system includes a user reaction sensor configured to detect user reaction data when the vehicle sensor detects the vehicle component is engaged by the user of the vehicle. The system includes a transceiver configured to communicate the user reaction data to a remote data server. The system includes a remote data server configured to receive the user reaction data from the vehicle and other user reaction data from a plurality of other vehicles and determine one or more subsequent design suggestions. The system also includes a computing device configured to execute vehicle design software for designing a subsequent vehicle design based on the one or more subsequent design suggestions.
