Abstract: A computer-implemented method of directing an autonomous vehicle to join an autonomous vehicle train, the computer-implemented method including: receiving, via at least one of one or more processors or associated transceivers of the autonomous vehicle train, a request from a requesting autonomous vehicle that is not part of the autonomous vehicle train to join the autonomous vehicle train along a route; determining, using autonomous vehicle data, a rendezvous point along the route; transmitting, a communication to the requesting autonomous vehicle authorizing the requesting autonomous vehicle to join the autonomous vehicle train at the rendezvous point along the route; and directing the requesting autonomous vehicle to join the autonomous vehicle train at the rendezvous point along the route. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method implemented by one or more processors for assessing accident events, the computer-implemented method including: determining, based on first sensor data captured by one or more first sensors associated with a first vehicle, that an accident event occurred; and after determining that the accident event occurred: sending, to an electronic device associated with a second vehicle, a request for second sensor data captured by one or more second sensors of the electronic device associated with the second vehicle; receiving, from the electronic device, the second sensor data; analyzing the second sensor data to determine that the second sensor data is related to the accident event; and aggregating the first sensor data with the second sensor data. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: Autonomous vehicles may be dynamically directed to rendezvous with autonomous vehicle trains or convoys. Current location and/or route information of the Autonomous Vehicle Train (AVT) may be received by an autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle may compare its current location and/or route information to determine a rendezvous point with the AVT. The autonomous vehicle may route itself to the rendezvous point with the AVT. Once there, the autonomous vehicle may verify the identification of the AVT, such as by using sensors/cameras to verifying a lead vehicle of the AVT (e.g., by verifying make/model, color, and/or license plate). The autonomous vehicle and lead vehicle may communicate to allow the autonomous vehicle to join the AVT. A minimum level of autonomous vehicle functionality may be verified prior to the autonomous vehicle being allowed to join the AVT. As a result, vehicle traffic flow and travel experience by passengers may be enhanced.

Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing accident events are disclosed According to certain aspects, an electronic device may access sensor data associated with operation of a vehicle, and analyze the sensor data to determine that an accident event has occurred. In response, the electronic device may dynamically and automatically retrieve additional sensor data from at least one additional electronic device via a short range communication. The electronic device may compile or aggregate the additional sensor data with the original sensor data to provide a thorough representation of the accident event.

Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: Systems and methods relate to, inter alia, receiving a set of sensor data from a set of sensors communicatively coupled to the electronic mobile device. The systems and methods may further include determining automatically from the set of sensor data that the collision event occurred during the operation of the automotive device. The systems and methods may further include initiating, in response to determining that the collision event occurred, a reverse communication session between the electronic mobile device and a collision management server. The electronic mobile device, via the initiated reverse communication session, may be configured to receive a first offer from a first service provider and a second offer from a second service provider. The first offer and the second offer are for servicing the automotive device by the first service provider and the second service provider, respectively.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved accident response technology are disclosed. According to certain aspects, a server may receive an indication of an occurrence of an accident event, and may identify a set of vehicles currently operating and suited to assist with the accident event. The server may transmit a notification to one or more of the vehicles that indicates the accident event and enables a vehicle operator to select whether to assist with the accident event. The server may reward the vehicle operator for assisting with the accident event.
