VEHICLE CUSTOMIZATION AND PERSONALIZATION ACTIVITIES

摘要

Information is provided to a vehicle by receiving, from a data center, a set of travel related services that are specific to an individual, where the travel related services are received into a control and interconnection system of a vehicle. The control and interconnection system comprises a vehicle interface that interfaces with vehicle subsystems, an operator interface that interfaces with an operator of the vehicle, and a system controller that communicates with vehicle subsystems. The method includes loading the set of travel related services into the system controller of the control and interconnection system, utilizing the control and interconnection system to monitor operational characteristics of the vehicle based upon the loaded set of travel related services, and communicating operational characteristics to the data center. In response, personalized information is received from the data center, whereby the control and interconnection system performs an operation in response to receiving the personalized information.
