Coordinated transportation system and methods thereof
The present disclosure relates to a coordinated transportation system and methods thereof. More particularly, this disclosure describes a system where passengers within two or more vehicles may enjoy a shared cabin experience. This may include, but is not limited to, a selection of music, sound clip, seat haptic, seat positioning, speaker setting, interior or exterior lighting, image or video for display, and drive mode to be shared among the vehicles. Vehicle formations to enhance the shared cabin experience may be formed. Furthermore, a global positioning system (GPS) coordinate may be established by a lead vehicle to provide other vehicles with the experience after those vehicles pass that coordinate.
1. A vehicle comprising:
a transceiver;
at least one processor;
a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing program instructions that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
register with at least two other vehicles;
connect to the at least two other vehicles through the transceiver;
maneuver the at least two other vehicles with the vehicle to form a column of vehicles across several lanes;
define a function for sharing; and
transmit the function to the at least two other vehicles through the transceiver within the column of vehicles, wherein the function is associated with a positioning of each vehicle within the column of vehicles.
2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the function for sharing comprises a racing game.
3. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the function to the at least two other vehicles through the transceiver comprises communicating the function through a local network, the transmitter providing or receiving at least one of a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, Bluetooth® communication, near-field communication (NFC), ultra-wide band communication, and a combination thereof.
4. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the function to the at least two other vehicles through the transceiver comprises communicating the function through a remote network, the transmitter providing or receiving communications through a cellular network.
