Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to request delivery of a queued digital message from passing vehicles in wireless communication with the processor, after determining that the vehicle is broadcasting suitable delivery characteristics that make eventual delivery of the message to an intended recipient likely to be facilitated by the vehicle acting as an intermediary carrier of the message.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to receive image data gathered by a vehicle camera, relating to a fixed environmental feature. The processor is also configured to determine a vehicle position relative to the fixed environmental feature and determine a vehicle lane-level location on a digital map, based on the vehicle position relative to the fixed environmental feature.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a vehicle processor programmed to process a vehicle signal received from an in-vehicle sensor; and process an external signal received from an external sensor of a detectable external device. When connected to the external device, the processor performs a first function using the external signal, and when disconnected from the external device, the processor estimates the external signal to perform the first function and performs a second function.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to receive an indication of a trigger state indicating that a message should be broadcast over dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) from a broadcasting vehicle. The processor is also configured to select a message, in response to the trigger state, for broadcast and broadcast the selected message while the trigger state persists.

Abstract translation: 系统包括处理器，其被配置为接收指示消息应当通过来自广播车辆的专用短距离通信（DSRC）广播的触发状态的指示。 处理器还被配置为响应于触发状态来选择消息，以在触发状态持续时广播和广播所选择的消息。

Abstract: A system for a vehicle includes a controller programmed to, in response to discovering, without an already established connection with a remote vehicle, a service broadcasted by the remote vehicle indicating that cellular communication with the remote vehicle is available, confirm that the service is a subscribed-to service, and upon receiving input to invoke the subscribed-to service, contact the remote vehicle using the subscribed-to service.
