    Abstract: In examples, a fleet of vehicles comprises a hub vehicle and a set of remote vehicles, where a hub vehicle aggregates and disseminates information among remote vehicles. For example, the hub vehicle may specify a geofence and/or any of a variety of other vehicle configuration information, which may be provided to remote vehicles accordingly. Further, a remote vehicle may monitor a power source state and ensure that it does not travel outside of a range to the hub vehicle, thereby reducing instances where the remote vehicle has traveled too far to be replenished. The hub vehicle may also facilitate cross-vehicle communication between operators. For example, communications may be relayed among other vehicles of the fleet. In other examples, the hub vehicle may provide task management functionality, where a shared task list is synchronized among the vehicles, thereby enabling operators to view tasks, add tasks, and remove tasks, among other functionality.
