Abstract: A method includes transmitting a first wireless communication from a user device via an authorized first cellular network. The first wireless communication includes a current geographic location of the user device. The user device maintains a forbidden list identifying unauthorized cellular networks. Based on determining that the user device is approaching a geofence between a first network coverage area of the first cellular network and a second network coverage area of a second cellular network that is identified on the forbidden list, the method includes removing the second cellular network from the forbidden list. With the second cellular network removed from the forbidden list and based on the user device entering the second network coverage area, the method includes transmitting a second wireless communication from the user device via the second cellular network that includes an updated geographic location of the user device.

Abstract: Presented are vehicle control systems and logic for provisioning remote vehicle services (RVS), methods for making/using such systems, and wireless-enabled vehicles executing RVS operations governed by such systems. A method of controlling an RVS operation of a vehicle includes a vehicle controller receiving, either directly or indirectly, a request to activate the RVS operation. Responsive to receiving the RVS activation request, wireless signal data is collected to determine wireless signal states of the subject vehicle and of multiple crowd-sourced vehicles proximal to the subject vehicle. Using the host vehicle's and crowd-sourced vehicles' wireless signal states, a signal state heatmap is generated with a spatial mapping of signal state magnitudes as a map overlay. The heatmap visualizes a signal state magnitude in an area surrounding the host vehicle. If this signal state magnitude exceeds a preset minimum threshold, the vehicle controller commands a resident vehicle subsystem to activate the RVS operation.

Abstract: A battery monitoring system includes a vehicle processor storing battery data and a user device communicatively coupled with the vehicle processor. The user device includes data processing hardware that stores a weather application, a navigation application, and a battery monitoring application. The battery monitoring application is configured to receive the battery data from the vehicle processor and weather data from the weather application. The battery monitoring application is also configured to present a user with battery efficiency options based on the battery data and the weather data.

Abstract: An incident evaluation system for vehicle incidents includes a first imager configured to capture image data corresponding to a first vehicle and a first vehicle processor that is communicatively coupled to the first imager and configured to receive the captured image data. The first vehicle processor is configured to generate a first vehicle report in response to an incident captured in the image data and includes a first vehicle profile including at least one of first vehicle insurance details, driver details, and pre-incident image data. The incident evaluation system also includes a server communicatively coupled to the first vehicle processor and configured to receive the first vehicle report. The server is configured to evaluate the captured image data to generate an incident report.

Abstract: A method for controlling a motor vehicle having an electronic control unit (ECU), includes enabling an initial set of vehicle performance limits of the motor vehicle via the ECU in response to a request signal from a computer device. The method includes detecting a current vehicle state of the motor vehicle, including one or more of a location of the motor vehicle, an occupancy state of the motor vehicle, and/or an experience level of a driver thereof, and dynamically adjusting at least one of the performance limits in response to the current vehicle state. A motor vehicle includes one or more road wheels and vehicle components connected to a vehicle body. The ECU includes non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions for performing the method.

Abstract: A method of predictively charging a vehicle including a rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) includes providing a telematics system including a telematics module, at least one external data source, a utility data source, and at least one user interface. The telematics system receives weather forecast data from the at least one external data source; monitors the weather forecast data for a predicted weather event; compares the predicted weather event to historical weather events during which power disruptions occurred; determines whether the predicted weather event is indicative of a potential power disruption based upon the comparison; generates a power status report via the telematics system based upon a determination that the predicted weather event may be indicative of the potential power disruption; sends the power status report to the at least one user interface; and commands a charging of the vehicle based on the power status report.

Abstract: Methods of detecting that a vehicle tracking device is tracking humans includes determining whether the vehicle tracking device has been removed from its linked vehicle; determining whether the vehicle tracking device is being used to track a human; and alerting when determined that the vehicle tracking device is tracking humans. Methods may determine if a weighted score is greater than a threshold and alerting: an owner of the vehicle tracking device; setting off an audio alert on the vehicle tracking device; or notifying authorities. Methods may detect human movement by detecting steep elevation changes; detecting acceleration data consistent human movement; or detecting movement that is not a road. Methods may determine if the vehicle tracking device is with a different vehicle or building by: detecting the different vehicle's hotspot; detecting the building's Wi-Fi; or detecting GPS movement that matches the different vehicle's GPS movement.

Abstract: A method of tracking objects relative to a vehicle. The method includes identifying a route object list associated with a predetermined vehicle route. The route object list includes a list of objects to be taken on the vehicle for the predetermined vehicle route. At least one object associated with the vehicle with at least one sensor on the vehicle is identified to determine a current object list for the vehicle. The current object list is compared to the route object list associated with the predetermined route to identify at least one missing object from the current object list when compared to the route object list. A notification is provided to a user of the at least one missing object.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a plurality of temperature sensors positioned in the vehicle and a control module in communication with the plurality of temperature sensors. The plurality of temperature sensors are configured to measure surface temperatures of objects in the vehicle. The control module is configured to receive the measured surface temperatures from the plurality of temperature sensors, determine whether any of the measured surface temperatures is greater than a defined threshold, and in response to any of the measured surface temperatures being greater than the defined threshold, transmit an alert signal to a user communication device indicative of the objects in the vehicle having the measured surface temperatures greater than the defined threshold. Other examples vehicle systems and methods for selectively controlling airflow in a vehicle and/or warning users of objects of a vehicle having potentially dangerous surface temperatures are also disclosed.
