Abstract: A method and system for autonomously navigating a vehicle toward a passenger route endpoint using a telematics unit installed in the vehicle. The method carried out by the system includes the steps of determining that the vehicle is approaching the passenger route endpoint and remotely navigating the vehicle by identifying a passenger endpoint location near the passenger route endpoint using at least a remote facility separate from the vehicle. The passenger endpoint location may be determined from at least a current or real-time status of a passenger endpoint condition at the passenger route endpoint.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems and computer readable storage medium for dynamically configuring a passenger section for a passenger transport. The method includes receiving, by a processor, a trip request. The method further includes reconfiguring, by the processor, at least a portion of a passenger section of a passenger transport based at least in part on the received trip request. The method further includes collecting, by the passenger transport, one or more passengers associated with the trip request for transport to a destination.

Abstract: A system, for providing subsidized vehicle-ownership rights based on driver participation in a driver-participation incentive program. The system includes a processing hardware unit, or processor, and a system-driver agreement module configured to, via the processor, establish an agreement by which the driver participant agrees to perform a vehicle-driving-related task in exchange for a subsidy toward obtaining the vehicle-ownership rights. The system also includes an account-maintenance module establishing a driver-participation account in connection with the driver participant. The system also includes a system-driver interface module resenting, by way of a tangible vehicle interface, a task for the driver to perform, and determining that the driver participant performed the task. The system further includes a driver-incentives module that, via the processor: adds program points to the driver-participant account if the driver performed the task; and applies the program points to the subsidy toward obtaining the vehicle-ownership rights.
