Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a systems and methods for predictive and dynamic energy management for a vehicle. The disclosed embodiments may include receiving input data. The system may determine, using a first machine learning model, an anticipated destination of the vehicle based on at least a portion of the input data. Furthermore, the disclosed embodiments may include determining that the vehicle is anticipated to arrive at the anticipated destination within a predetermined time threshold. In response to determining that the vehicle is anticipated to arrive at the anticipated destination within the predetermined time threshold, the system may change an operating mode of the vehicle from a first operating mode to a second operating mode, wherein the second operating mode is an energy conservation mode.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include systems and methods for health monitoring and proactive intervention for vehicles. The system may receive first input data associated with a first vehicle component while operating the vehicle in a first mode. Then, the system may determine, using a first machine learning model, a first threshold associated with the first vehicle component based on the first input data. Then, the system may receive second input data associated with the first vehicle component. The system may determine whether the first vehicle component is operating outside the first threshold based on the second input data and then operate the vehicle in a second mode that reduces degradation of the first vehicle component.
