  • Patent number: 10817891
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying vehicle care that may reduce risk in fields not directly associated with a vehicle itself. One or more electronic sources may provide an indication of care (e.g., service, maintenance, or part configuration) of a vehicle by a user, and the vehicle care may be determined to be associated with a lowered risk for an entity (e.g., a home or business) operated by the same user in another field not associated with operation of the vehicle itself. In response, a user-specific reward may be generated and transmitted to the user, to further incentivize vehicle care and other risk averse behavior in the other field.
